How dumb of me!


I was so focused on Soto's eyes, which someone incidentally thinks is due to chemical impairment, that I missed the significant astronomical event that was captured in the photo on this card.

There is a supernova exploding in the background!

I bet if we checked some historical astronomical charts or consulted a brilliant astronomer, we probably could determine the precise date and moment that this photo was taken.*

*The more that I look at it, this could also be one of those colorful smoke bombs which I guess would point to July 4th, 2008, time unknown. I am still going with a supernova though.
