Mostly Mute Monday: The Cat’s-Eye Nebula (Synopsis) [Starts With A Bang]
“I lie on the floor, washed by nothing and hanging on. I cry at night. I am afraid of hearing voices, or a voice. I have come to the edge, of the land. I could get pushed over.” -Margaret Atwood
We had a great run with Messier Monday, followed by a fun mini-series on Mini-Movie Monday, but now it’s time to shake things up.

Starting today, I present to you a new, ongoing series: Mostly Mute Monday. The rules are as follows:
- I pick one object or phenomenon to focus on.
- The story is told entirely in visuals: images and/or silent videos. (Credits do not count.)
- The visuals showcase as much information about the object(s) as possible.
- At the end, I have a maximum of 200 words to explain what we’ve seen.

Come enjoy the very first one — on the Cat’s Eye Nebula — over on Medium.
