Answers Posted for Recent WITU Challenges

Apologies for not posting the answers to the Where In the Universe Challenges numbers 116 and 117! Does forgetting things like this mean I’m overly busy or just getting older? Anyway, you can find the answers back on the original posts: #116 was this image of a ghostly, mysterious galaxy with anomalous arms, and #117 was a beautiful image of a crescent planetary body— but the challenge was naming WHICH body!
