Welcome to another scintillating riddle.  Okay, maybe “scintillating” isn’t the correct word, but I feel like patting myself on the back today.<\/p>

On this day in 1915 Pluto was photographed for the first time.  Of course, nobody realized they had photographed the dwarf planet, and it was officially discovered 15 years later.<\/p>

Ready now for your riddle?  I have a nice one lined up for you today.  Get your neurons fired up; you’re looking for something in the real world.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

Found on a constellation card published in London in 1825<\/p><\/div>

This is a modern discovery.<\/p>

You’re looking for a different kind of Diva…<\/p>

…and she’s not alone.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>
Some people say this is like a smoking chimney.<\/p>

Others say it’s a ticking bomb.<\/p>

It’s also been likened to a gun barrel pointed right at Earth.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

NASA\/Swift\/Mary Pat Hrybyk-Keith and John Jones<\/p><\/div>

It contributes to the formation of a shape very common in nature.<\/p>

We are watching this Diva’s violent death throes, and the death throes of its companion.<\/p>

In astronomical terms, this object is in our back yard.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

Yves Grosdidier (University of Montreal and Observatoire de Strasbourg), Anthony Moffat (Universitie de Montreal), Gilles Joncas (Universite Laval), Agnes Acker (Observatoire de Strasbourg), and NASA<\/p><\/div>

That should do it.  You know where to find me, so come on and talk to me.<\/p>
