Sternstunde

Arturo Gomez wasn't sure what he was looking at when he identified this object in the sky, captured here by NASA's Hubble Telescope. Its hamburger buns are light reflecting off dust, and the patty is the dark band of dust in the middle, which earned it the nickname "Gomez's Hamburger." Identifying a hamburger-like celestial body must have been something of a "Sternstunde" (moment of glory) for Mr. Gomez. But not every "Sternstunde" (literally, star hour) has to include a star. In fact, enjoying a very tasty non-galactic hamburger with all the fixings could also qualify as one for some.
