[wordup] The Sombrero Galaxy

[Adam Shand]

Wow, make sure to take a second and look at the larger pictures as well.

I think I'm going to start sending smallish pictures to the list because 
that interests me right now.  If you can't stand pictures feel free to 
complain to me, most likely you'll be politely ignored though. :-)
