| Discovery Notes | The phage was found behind my apartment building. The soil was not that dry so I thought it would be perfect so scoop some soil and start testing it. |
| Naming Notes | When looking at my phage, it reminds me all the stars in our galaxy and the picture was black and white and some part of the picture was brighter than the rest. It looks like when I sky up into the sky at night and see multiple stars. The parallel comes in since the picture isn't exactly a galaxy so I thought it could be a parallel dimension. |
