  Ooooooohhhhhh. (Copy. Paste) New one to me, with plenty of backlit area. Also a great demonstraton that, appearances aside ,spirals come in a vast range of sizes.

  Hmm, now I'm not so sure the big one isn't in front. Looks like you can trace the dust lane across the small one, at least on one side. (In which case the second statement is still true but this is no longer an example...) Need... better...data...
