	Interesting fractal stuff: A Star with Spiral Arms ... Astronomers have seen spiral arms before: they’re commonly found in pinwheel galaxies where hundreds of millions of stars spiral together around a common core. Finding a clear case of spiral arms around an individual star, however, is unprecedented. The arms might be a sign that planets are forming within the disk. ... Another way to see extrasolar planets?

	Don't trust such Astronomers. They are not to be relied upon. Or do you really mean astrologers? Or what pan-galactic gargle blasters are you dreaming for random comments?

	That is interesting. But I think it will be a long time before we would be getting any signals from that system or any like it. Any planets there probably have some heavy meteor showers. ____________ Bob DeWoody
