Hooray for the Irish and Mr. Grennan in particular. I saw the two new galaxies on TV last night and the images were spectacular. However Mr. Grennan's name or the fact he was Irish were never mentioned. I am sure by next month we will see that an englishman discovered the galaxies.

With all the money and resources governments and great universities it is heartening to see an amateur have such success.
