Description

Vy 2-3 is pretty round but not perfectly round. The <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/geckzilla/9998867675/">Lemon Slice</a> remains the reigning champion of roundness. "Vy" is a new name to me so I had to <a href="http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1945PASP...57..314V" rel="nofollow">look it up</a>. This seems to be another case of, "Wait, this isn't just a star. The emission lines are weird." So the Vy is for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Vyssotsky" rel="nofollow">Vyssotsky</a>, who discovered it while surveying stars.
