As these bubbles grow and rise, cooled gas from NGC 1275's core gets drawn into long tendrils in their wake, like the strings that trail behind balloons." </p> </blockquote> <p>Follow the links for photos of His Noodly Appendages, or stick around here and tell me what you're having for dinner.</p> <p>Not spaghetti, I hope.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StreetProphets/~4/Sf5fkChwTEc" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.streetprophets.com/storyonly/2009/7/16/155645/343 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StreetProphets/~3/f4b_arFHs9o/5901 <p><em>brillig checks her calendar nervously to make sure it is indeed Wednesday...</em></p> <p>Welcome to Coffee Hour, post-vacation edition!
