You would be forgiven if you thought this picture was a soap bubble in front of an astronomical picture. This is a picture of a planetary nebula that was overlooked until this month. Astronomers say it is either spherical or column-shaped, in which case the camera is looking down the barrel of the column. Records indicate that the nebula, officially named PN G75.5+1.7 and nicknamed the "Cygnus Bubble", was recorded sixteen years ago during the second Palomar Sky Survey, but was overlooked at the time because it was so faint.

And here I didn't realize there were so many hollow tubes holding up the Parthenon.
If I remember biology, extra leaves in a clover is a recessive trait. Dominant traits such as normal leaves well affect the plant more than the extra leaves trait. If you breed two plants with extra leaves, the trait stays with the offspring so it also has extra leaves. Keep doing this, and eventually you will get a plant with a lot of leaves.
Not confirmed because that family member ate the 27-leaf clover.
p.s i would like to see more pictures.
That's hw I found this page; I was checking the web to see if I had a world record on my hands. Sadly not. By a LONG way!
56 leaf clover grown by the same Japanese farmer!!
