But sadly(?)….not having done chemistry since A level…I got it straight away!
Edit: annoyingly (at the time) I failed the A-level, coz I completely fcuked up the practical (and I knew that I’d screwed up when I walked out of the lab). Of course, I had already “walked” the theory.
Didn’t bother with re-sit. I’d changed direction to electronics by then. But still annoyed by my screw-up.

Now Hubble sees it in unbelievable detail. A lot has changed since I was a kid.
