After 30 minutes reading about the Milky Way I feel like exhausted but still can't find the answer to this.

Hi safflower - hope you're well today?

5d Coal Sack

The Coalsack is the most prominent and conspicuous dark nebula in the skies, well visible to the naked eye as big dark patch in the Milky Way

Thank you all. So simple and yet so hard to find. But at least I've learnt all about Aquila and Opiuchus in the process. Perhaps that will come in handy in a future Polymath.

Hello Lie - in King. All well here in rather gloomy Devon. Have you noticed that the last winner was from abroad again? Perhaps I should emigrate.

[Lie-in King]

Nah! You move, the next winner will be from Devon!

Like I've always said - "When my ship comes in, I'll be at the airport..."

Cold but sunny in East Sussex today... :-)
