Jerry: So what happened? Could she detect [George's toupee]?
George: That's an interesting question.
Jerry: How so?
George: How so? I'll tell you how so. She's bald!
Elaine: What do you mean bald?
George: What do you think I mean bald? Bald. Bald bald.
Jerry: She's bald?
George: She's bald.
Elaine: Oh come on.
George: Oh come on? No come on. She took off her hat and there she was
(waving his hand over his head) hello. It was like I was looking at myself in the mirror.
Elaine: Well maybe she got a haircut or something.
George: Let me tell you something. No one walks into a beauty parlor and says "Give me the Larry Fine."

Composite image of Supernova remnant G1.9+0.3, using a 1985 radio images (blue) and a 2008 x-ray image (orange). The difference in size revealed that the supernova remnant is still expanding rapidly, and allowed astronomers to calculate its age.
<<Supernova remnant G1.9+0.3 is the youngest known supernova remnant (SNR) in the Milky Way Galaxy. The remnant's young age was established by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the VLA radio observatory, and is believed to have exploded about 25,000 years ago, and the signal began reaching us 140 years ago. Prior to this discovery, the youngest-known Milky Way supernova remnant was Cassiopeia A, at about 330 years. The remnant has a radius of over 1.3 light years. Located about 25,000 light years from Earth, G1.9+0.3 was first identified as a SNR in 1985 as a radio source inside our galaxy by astronomers using the VLA. In 2007, images of it were made using the Chandra X-Ray observatory, and compared with the 1985 images. The differences in size allowed astronomers to calculate when the supernova exploded, sometime around 1868 C.E (relative to Earth-time). In 2008, observations by the VLA confirmed that G1.9+0.3 was expanding rapidly, and is calculated to be doing so at about 56 million km/h / 35 million mph, or about 5% the speed of light.
The supernova was not observed visually by astronomers at the time of explosion, because it is located near the centre of the galaxy, and is obscured by dust clouds. It is only since the advent of radio astronomy and X-ray astronomy that astronomers have been able to penetrate the dust clouds. The coordinates of G1.9+0.3 are right ascension 17 hours 48 minutes 45.4 seconds, declination -27 degrees 10 minutes 06 seconds, which places it in the constellation Sagittarius, near its border with Ophiuchus.>>
