Okay, I have to admit you guys are pretty quick on the uptake.  I’ve only really flustered you once, and that was with the Garnet Star.  Most of the riddles I put up get solved fairly quickly, but I wonder how you would do if I was a little tougher on you?<\/p>

Still within the rules… something you know about… something with which you are familiar… do you think I can fluster you?<\/p>

There’s a fine line between fun and impossible.  I can make it so obscure that nobody would guess, but that’s no fun.  I made this one a bit tougher, but if you think about it, you’ll see it.<\/p>

Kepler Drawing of SN1604<\/p><\/div>

This is a single object.<\/p>

Although it is relatively close to us, it is not visible to the unaided eye.<\/p>

This object is ancient.  (ancient by cosmic standards)<\/p>

Usually very nice, it occasionally shows its temper.<\/p>

It has been an object of controversy in modern times.<\/p>

NASA\/ESA, G.Bacon Drawing of CHRX733 and CHRX733b<\/p><\/div>

If you have a telescope, you can see this just North of the equator… if you point it straight up.<\/p>

This object is very well represented in modern science fiction.<\/p>

Although old, this object is far from over.<\/p>

It is traveling toward us.<\/p>

There are several things this could<\/em> be, but with all the clues together, it points to only one thing.  Do you know what it is?  I’m in the comments, good luck.<\/p>

By the way… the images are “clickable” for an amazing enlargement, especially of CHRX733.  Thanks, Wayne!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
