Binary Star [Tattoo]

Nicole write: “I got it 6 years ago when I was a freshman in college, starting a double major in physics and astronomy.  I was drawn to the colorful and artistic interpretation of a binary star.  Maybe one day I’ll find the film picture of when it was first taken.  Today I’m a grad student in astronomy, contemplating a second tattoo!”
