Oh, my bad. I was (apparently mistakenly) referring to this guy
      https://codereview.stackexchange.com/users/165913/766f6964
and his icon. He's the codereview.se guy you originally linked
us to (link is given above). And when you explained his "766f6964",
I just assumed it was you, and your icon. So I guess my double
entendre conjecture still stands, but with respect to that guy,
whoever he is. But I'm not seeing much in his profile of
an astronomical persuasion, so I'd also guess the odds my
conjecture is correct are pretty low. Anyway, thanks again for
the original interesting link.
