>From Robert Bradbury:
<<The Hubble recently took a picture of Hoag's Object:
http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/2002/21/
Its pretty unusual to see young massive stars on the
outskirts of a galaxy 120,000 years across and most
of the rest of the stars concentrated in the center.
You be the judge.

I saw the Astronomy pic tonight at my Brother in Laws' house, and thought the
same thing. But then I frequently look for curious cosmic structures like
Hoag's Object, and have so far, been disappointed nobody else seems to 'join
in'. Therefore, there must be a more natural cause of Hoag's Object. But
would an astronomer know an artifact, if he or she saw one? How different
would such an artifact of a supercivilization appear, compared to natural
phenomena? It appears unusual, but does that make it a product of
intellifgence?
