  Very cool!

  Loved the technicolor GLEAM sky, particularly how it goes from blue to red as you move out (azimuthally?) from the galactic plane. Oh, and that Aussie accent! "plane", "ago", ... Surely no one there in NJ could mistake her for a Brit, could they?

  So how many of the 300k GLEAM galaxies are doubles? triples? hybrids? wats? nats? giants?? 😄

  Thanks Jean!

  Natasha is from the UK but has lived in Perth for quite a few years now.
