Messier 79 isn't real. I've checked. It just isn't there. It's a lie told by big astronomy to keep us buying guide books and telescopes, eternally looking for made up Messier objects that just don't exist.

I've been trying to get Uranus reclassified as a messier object for years but the iau stopped taking my calls.
