    I thought we could post Ancient Coins with PENTAGRAM style Stars, versus an Asterisk style (which seem prevalent.) Hey, when I was a kid in elementary, you got a pentagram star on good work, not an asterisk. :D

    I recently got this one from @John Anthony ...

    Nope, it was a $28 eBay coin. I think I sold off one or two others in JA auction though.

    Even a better show/ when Betelgeuse goes super nova. It will look like a full moon for months. Even visible during daylite hours. When we do see it, the actual event took place 640 years ago.

    How long until we should see that? In our lifetimes or no?

    Nevermind. I just read about it. Sure would be something to see but I don’t think I’ll be around that long :p
