You want your personality to feel present, too, especially in a room where you spend so much time with family and friends....

The galaxies—NGC 4568 and NGC 4567—are also referred to as the Butterfly galaxies because their convergence caused two-lobed shapes to combine, giving the celestial object the illusion of butterfly wings....

It’s an American sipping staple and one that can make just about any father figure happy—for more reasons than one.
