OK, I'm starting to see fhb all over the place. Google has no applicable definition. What does it stand for? Faint Hubble (something)? Come on guys, keep the rest of us in the loop.

Wish they had a button to select for that type of fuzzy blob. Oh yes the F might stand for fuzzy

Faint and fuzzy is just as goodTX. I got the idea of what was being described. I just wanted to know what it stood for. I have enough trouble trying to keep up with all the astronomy acronyms and texting jargon! LOL ๐ I'm beginning to feel like a rebel without a clue.

I do not think it just a made up term but much more.
The term been published twice one in a scientific book on astronomy another a magazine. Webster dictionary accepted the term as well as another dictionary, the term been on the news such as FOX, CBS, Yahoo news, The Boston Globe and got into Wikipedia. Like I said it been published and got on TV. The astronomers on the galaxy zoo team have accepted the term. It is much more than just made up it seems to be gaining acceptance among the scientist.Posted
