Star gets tail

And no, it's not Lindsay Lohan.

What I love is the quote about the star being found in the constellation of Cetes, the whale: "There's a star with a tail in the tail of the whale." Someone's speaking for the trees there. If only all press releases were made in the style of Dr. Seuss, what fun that would be.

There's a star with a tail in the tail of the whale, and its solar winds blow with the force of a gale. If you look for the Earth, 'twill be of no avail, for the star's much too small and the photo's to scale. This star's fate let us hail, it's a whale of a tale; it went pale, then set sail, and some day it will fail. But there's no need to wail, this is not a sad tale, though it will be if Bush puts up NASA for sale.

Fox in Socks! I knew all those hours of Dr Seuss would pay off! By the way, another disappearing word - 'tailor'
