    Hubble sees Galaxies galore

    While "surfing" the internet, I happened to find this site, which is really something. It has nothing to do with bottles! The photo, which is in jpg form, will take a long time to load, but is well worth the wait! Here is the site's URL...

    Miniature Green bottle

    Has anyone any ideas as to what this sample bottle might have been used for? The bottle measures 92 mm in height, and 25 mm in diameter. Tht picture shows the design on the bottle. For some reason, I think it may be a soy sauce bottle, but I am far from sure. Thanks Tandy
