Happy Saturday, and welcome to a new cycle of riddles.  We all start over with a blank slate to build up a list of “riddle champions” for the next bonus riddle.  Tom and I had a lot of fun with the bonus riddle, and we’re looking forward to this cycle.

Same rules apply as always, and I know you’re ready; so here goes:

Today’s answer is an object.

It was discovered by a very famous “father”.

It is a single object, and it stands out from quite a crowd.

This object has many features no other of its kind possesses.

It participates in a remarkable “dance” with some of its partners.

In itself, it is a mixture of old and young.

When you look at this object, you see ghosts.

And finally, take a look at this image:

It’s a clue.

Are you ready?  You know where to find me… lurking, as usual.
