What does this look like to you?..

I'm just curious to see your point of view ATS. This is one of the most spectacular nebula I've ever seen. IMO: It looks like a phoenix unleashing a meteor of sorts??? Let me know your opinion...

This is not a galaxy its a nebula. I know this because i have spent 8 years reading astronomy websites on the internet. This is a nebula far from what a Galaxy is

Nebula Wikipedia hehe

Using my imagination i'd say there are two cosmic lakes seperated by blood(or a heart) while on the right hand side of the image is a sort of cerebral artery-like structure.

Actually, in retrospect, I see two blue eyes seperated by central mass engorged in blood (maybe a frontal lobe) and the cerebral arteries on the right hand side. Sort of like looking at a human head from the front-right at a down-ward angle.

Thanks for your opinion. If pictures are worth 1,000 word this one is worth 10,000...I was looking at it for like 1 hour straight yesterday. Its kind of hypnotizing

I just get an erie feeling when I look at that. For some reason I see a the face vulture or a face of a wolf

Can you imagine what it would be like to fly through space seeing stuff like this up close?

I saw that too a little bit...the black dust (or whatever it is) all stretched out looks like tortured souls or something little bit spooky

First thought that came to mind is, it looks like a Ram.

you wouldmt actually see like it is in the picture...at least thats what i think i have heard and come to know...the way the telescopes take pictures the take them in ultra violet light and xrays and stuff...so i dont think it would actually be visable...at least like this...please correst me if im wrong though...and to me it looks like something forming

i see swirls of dark matter
very beautiful

I know what you mean, especially when you consider the size of each point on that picture. Here's another one I find pretty sweet:

the shear size of that is like unfathomable billions of miles long...its just goes to show how small we are compared to the universe

reply to post by Artorius


looks like a giant nebula......basically a gaint amount of space dust

reply to post by Somehumanbeing


I think your pic is a computer animated galaxy though

reply to post by Artorius


it probably wouldnt look the same only a beauty that can be observed from millions of light years away.
