Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Alright losers, here's your APOD.  This one is from my own vault of research.  I keep a vault for all of my graphs and charts because one of my troglodyte assistants can't wash the grease off his hairy palms and always smudges my papers.  Anyways, this chart represents a lot of different things.  There are green, blue and red markings which I won't even get into right now.  The important aspect of this is the dotted line that goes up and down.  That's called a pattern and almost everything in the universe behaves in patterns.  So, you could pretty much make this chart mean whatever you want and it would probably be true.  Just don't mess with those green, blue and red markings.  Those are important.
