I definantly see an eye.
Awesome pics

Look at this black hole

One cant hope but wonder if these images are fake. After all it is from nasa. What makes me wonder is that they are able to get clear images of galaxy's and massive up close shots of black holes millions of miles away.
That black hole is MASSIVE.

All of them are art. The huble does not take pictures like a regular camera. They require some one to come in and fill in the blanks.

Is it just me or does the Crab Nebula look kinda like the Eye of Horus?

Fazza! I saw the exact same thing you did! The eye is the first thing I noticed in that photo!

Cody- this is a great post, I am in awe. S&F

Edit; I also see an eye in the last photo, all these photos are beyond beautiful!

These photos are amazingly amazing!!

If black holes are suppose to not allow light to escape.... why is the brightest place in most photos of galaxies the center where the black hole is? My guess is there is a large density of stars near the center black hole, and they are more consolidated there, and whipped around at highest speeds, so the light gets ejected at high energy levels and lots at one time, and so it floods over the center area...

What beautiful pictures!

I don't care whether they're in color or not -- what's important to me is that all this wonder is out there.

And the American reaction?

Defund NASA.

Welcome
I'm just in awe of nature.

In picture #4, of the Crab Nebula, I see a portal-like thing in the middle. Also, in # 15... or was it #16? One of those two... anyway.

The #27 photo is kinda frightful. On the right side of the swirling gases, I see a skeleton face with a scarf, and like a crown / norse-helmet with two horns on it, and wings rising up behind the figure.

Cool beans. What else did you all see in these photos?

These are incredible! A few look as though they were painted by the greatest of artists.

I LOVE IT

Normally, I'm not one to look at an abstract image, and extract all sorts of wild theories as to what we're looking at, but this photo is just plain obvious

img4.catalog.photos.msn.com...

to me, it looks like a representation of a soul being elevated out of its corporeal prison. but thats just me.
