AFAIK never used in a sentence.

I feel like there's a pun here involving an Arabic name for a "spiral" galaxy, or one visible in or near a constellation or star with an Arabic name. My astronomy is not good enough for me to figure out what it is, though.

There's an astronomer by the name of Felix Mirabel whose work is in spiral galaxies. But would this be significant to Marc Okrand?
