Thanks for the plug, but it's not my picture. I can't even remember
how I ran across it - I think it was one of those "was looking for
something completely different on a web browser search and happened
to find this instead."

I would not mind summarizing and submitting, but what is the
editorial policy toward such use of other's material? At the very
least I would need to get permission, and perhaps something more if
the photographer decides to copyright it.

The photographer is apparently an amateur astronomer with a CCD, so
this discussion may even make it back to him :-) See
<http://perso.club-internet.fr/legault/> for more interesting shots
(none so unique as this one perhaps).
