Old timey mustaches...just in time!

The day the heavens wore a mustache


The other day our friend Vivian pointed out that "You know, rainbows are kind of mustaches for the sky" Indeed! It seems that lab mustache day was being celebrated in the heavens and we almost missed it. Thankfully, thanks to Vivian and an intrepid iphone, we have this image that records the celestial mustache, shyly half-hiding behind Beckman building.
