Some reason I get the feeling these images are fake.... totally fake.
Here is a good example... I found two stars with the SAME EXACT rays. They are in two different locations.
What are the chances that both of these stars would have exact identical rays? One star is slightly rotated, but you can see dark areas in the smaller rays that match exactly, to the T.
Almost like they just computer generated the image and released it..
If it's real, cool. But I get this feeling they are faked...
Most everyone is familiar with lenses. They are found in eyeglasses and other optical instruments. When light hits the curved glass in a lens, its path is bent and the image of the light source changes.
Einstein's general relativity theory predicts that strong gravitational fields will bend the path of nearby light rays. As a consequence of this theory, a very large mass can bend light rays and in a sense become a lens. The lens is a gravitational field rather than a piece of glass. It is called a gravitational lens.

Discovery
The answer came in 1979 when astronomers found two quasars, 0957+561A and 0957+561B, that are extremely close together in the sky. The numbers in their names refer to the position in the sky, as is common in naming quasars. Because they are both so close to the same position the A and B were added to distiguish the two quasars.
Further study revealed that these two quasars, like identical twins, are so similar that it seemed they were a double image of the same quasar. Detailed photographs of the region, made under the best sky conditions possible prior to the Hubble Space Telescope, revealed a faint fuzzy region near one of the quasars. This fuzz is a faint elliptical galaxy between the quasars and us.

If you zoom in the orion pic in the center,you will find a giant cigar shaped spaceship.
Maybe is some pooh in the lens

Actually, they aren't the same. Light glare is going to be light glare no matter what. If you look closely you can see differences.

you can't see that it's obviously a GALAXY?!!!
sheesh... gargantuan triangular mothership?!!
no wonder people call us conspiracy nuts...
please, Internos, Phage, SOMEONE, care to take this?!

i spent ten minutes searching that damn picture, trying to look for something remotely triangular. I re-read the bit about it being boomerang-esque and realised you were talking about the giant freaking galaxy in the centre of the picture...
It's a galaxy. It's a galaxy. It's a galaxy. It's a galaxy. It's a galaxy. It's a galaxy.
OMG...
It's a galaxy.
Scrap the bit about us wearing tin foil hats, hows bout straight jackets.
