Indentation.

Because it is one of a series, even though no other entries are shown in this
example. Here is a more complete entry:

- catalog: M
  id: 72
  con: aqr
  aliases:
    - {catalog: NGC, id: 6981}
  kepple: 4
  obs:
    - date: 10/5/2004

         Small, undistinguished globular found by scanning SE of
         &epsilon;, about midway between that star and &theta; Cap.
         Not visible in binoculars. At 43x forms an equilateral triangle
         with mag 6 and 7 stars to W and S (R6).

         Although it is a long stretch from &epsilon; Aqr to &theta; Cap,
         M72 is pretty easy to find at the center of a line between them.
