    Yes. And if you know the band I apologize, but if you are unfamiliar with Pink Floyd, the joke refers to the Pink Floyd (post co-founder Roger Waters, hence my original comment) live record The Delicate Sound of Thunder with a similar sort of cover.

    M as in "Messier", who catalogued about a hundred interesting astronomical objects. There's the Messier Marathon where you try to see 100 of them in a single night, possible at some locations and times if the weather helps.

    That said it's very very close to Joy Division's iconic "Unknown Pleasures" album cover --- which is 100 consecutive pulses from the first discovered pulsar... but that was discovered in the 1960s not the 1700s when Messier catalogued.
