I am a true space buff and spend much of my free time looking at the sky through a telescope, taking photographs of distant galaxies and nebulae, or, more often, cursing the fact that the night is cloudy once again.
Anyway, that helped me find all the answers easily once again today – well, once I figured out what the topic was. I discovered dozens of possible answers, all of which ended up being mere clues (none of which I used), before I finally got COMET and realized what the connection was. After that it was all smooth sailing, apart from the spangram, which took me a bit of time to identify.
