Why ‘Lynnertic’?
My married name, Lynner, is Norwegian, a variation of ‘Lunner’. My husband’s ancestry is in part from the Lunner Kommune of Norway, named after the Moon.

Plenty of people have accused me of being a Space Cadet. This could be the closest I’ve come to accepting a commission.

About the background image

This is one of the strongest pieces of evidence to date for the existence of dark matter, an unknown substance that pervades the universe.
Essentially this is a photograph of a galactic traffic jam,
giving new meaning to the term “galaxy cluster”.

The background is a composite image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of a ring of dark matter surrounding a galaxy cluster. Humans can’t see dark matter but can detect it. Read more about dark matter (and the galaxy cluster) here.
