When an "imaging artifact" turns out to be one of the wildest things we've ever observed in the universe.
A supermassive black hole.
Ejected from its galaxy.
Compressed gas in its wake.
AND FORMED A 200,000 LIGHT-YEAR LONG STRING OF STARS.
WHAT.
Did I spend hours cleaning up after someone's careless mistake?
Yes I did.
Did I then immediately make one of my own that also needed hours to fix?
You betcha!
@thefleetislate This is the same list I would write for what my dissertation was about (minus the beautiful prose). The writing is Extremely 18th Century, but Charlotte Smith's novels have all the other bits in abundance, especially Celestina.
