"Lady Soul"
While all of us hate the "deathwatch," it is a part of life that is unavoidable. Most of us Oldies have been through it numerous times by now.
(We're still thinking about the Bird, many of us.)
I don't know what to say, really, except that for most of us oldies, we have some connection to Aretha, even if it's only through The Blues Brothers. I was out of high school when she first came to prominence with I Never Loved A Man in '67.
My own white self is partial to RESPECT, largely in part due to the BAND's terrific backing of Aretha on that momentous slice of film history. Respect is earned and part of earning it is to stand up for yourself, which Mrs. Murphy does with no doubt about how SHE feels.
My old friend Diane, recently deceased herself, was a DEDICATED fan of Aretha. This is, I suspect, one big reason for paying attention to this particular deathwatch.
If you have a particular favorite performance of hers, go ahead and post it here if you want.
I'm going with that first love song.

Thank you Mouse!
Still can’t see Andromeda with the naked eye anymore, not since I was a kid, and not without binoculars these days.
But I can certainly tell you where it is...look north after dusk and to the right of Cassiopeia. There’s more life out there too, I’m sure of it!!

More galaxies out this way than you can shake a stick at...
Local Group:
Two massive bright spirals, the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31, NGC 224), dominate a gravitationally-bound group of around 40 galaxies known as the Local Group which spans a volume approximately 10 million light years in diameter. Also prominent is the Triangulum galaxy (M33, NGC 598), a smaller spiral which (under very dark, clear conditions) is the most distant naked-eye object visible.
The rest of the Group is made up of smaller, fainter dwarf galaxies, many of which are satellites of the Milky Way or M31. However, the group is very dynamic and membership of the Group is probably changing over time as galaxies interact with, and move between, other nearby groups such as the Maffei 1 Group, the Sculptor Group, and the M81 and M83 Groups. Although the position and radial velocity of local galaxies can be measured accurately, their distances can be difficult to determine, and the total membership of the Local Group remains uncertain.
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are small well-known Milky Way companions, but nearer to our Galaxy are the more recently discovered Canis Major Dwarf and Sag DEG (Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy). Sag DEG is apparently being disrupted by tidal gravitational forces in its close encounter with the Milky Way. Local Group galaxies and subgroups are interacting gravitationally with each other (and with neighbouring groups) and mergers and collisions are thought to have happened in the past and speculated for the future. For example, Andromeda and the Milky Way are approaching each other at around 120 km/s and astronomers suggest that in several billion years they may merge to form a giant elliptical galaxy.
Our Local Group belongs to an even larger structure, a supercluster with the rich Virgo cluster of galaxies at its centre, about 70 million light years (about 21 Mpc) away.

There in Whoville
I’ve seen far off Mercury,
seen Venus, and seen Mars
Seen both Jupiter, and Saturn,
way out beyond our star
I’ve seen Neptune, Uranus,
and Jupiter’s moons, sir
And eyed with my telescope
those craters so Lunar...
Way out beyond our satellite
to a place where I shall go
On past the known planets
to a place that I well know
Beyond Misty Aye, and Ay Aye
planets X, Y, and Z
Far, far past the Oort Cloud
you know that’s where I’ll be
Out past Alpha Centauri
or a parsec beyond
With the Who’s there in Whoville
you’ll know that’s where I’ve gone
