The first message between two computers on ARPANET was sent #OTD in 1969. The “LO” of “LOGIN” was successfully transmitted and then one of the systems crashed.
Charles Kline’s IMP Log: “Talked to SRI host to host.”

They re-sent the “LOGIN” message an hour later, establishing a connection between UCLA and Stanford.
So technically the first three characters transmitted over what would become the internet were “LOL.”

One's sense of wonder extends to trying to imagine what the night sky might look like if one stood on a planet captive to a star in such a nebula?
Would 'Dark Skies' be an unfathomable concept to one or would it be a case that the closer one is to an extended object the less one can see it?
My main question, is the star close enough to the nebula that it is illuminating the nebula? And the answer is, yes, it is. The blue light in the nebula is from the star shown. Gamma Casseopia, the brightest star in Casseopeia about 3 light years away from IC59 and IC63.
Difficult to see with amateur scopes.
