An astronomer lass from Nantucket
Found an asteroid, but Harvard said "Chuck it!
No astronomer dame
Such credit may claim!"
(But I say that Harvard can suck it.)
- Reason
- While slightly undersize, the film grain is larger, so no detail is lost. Quite a good photo otherwise. I've tweaked the crop a bit - extended the right and cropped the left - to try and centre the image a bit better.

- Comment My hearty congratulations to Adam Cuerden for the limerick. I'm trying to think how we can, someday, work it onto the main page. Would you mind if I forward it to someone appropriate at the Harvard Observatory? EEng 22:15, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
