Usually, nebulae are associated with and named after various animal, insect, fish, or arachnid species.
This nebula should have been called Omega Man, since to me, I see nothing but hundreds of human faces in its tapestry of shapes and textures. But that's me.
Update: True to form, I stand corrected. There is either a horse or bear upper body image left edge center picture.
I see the faces and especially a huge face. I also see the horses head on the left (small). Right beneath that outlined in red I perceive almost a demon type figure crouching forward.
ReplyDeleteOn the bottom center-right I see a wolf or dog coming out from under a white area.
Just my perspective on this though, fantastic picture.
Christopher, I see those. The large face looks like George Washington actually. And a lot of the faces I see are between the large face and the demon. That'd be us I guess, stuck in the middle :)
DeleteAnyway, nature's art.
This is my new wall paper. I sorta see faces too? Kinda like looking at ink blots for me.
ReplyDeleteAdmiral, Yea, kind of an ink blot persona test. And I see many faces, 30-40 at least.
DeleteAnd yes, I get ALL my PC wallpaper from APOD !
beautiful white dog w/ excellently highlighted eye----upper left to middle and drawn to mid left.

Carol-CS, Ah yes, what I saw as the dog or the horse, you see as the dog's nose. Thanks for giving your impression. It's fun to see what others see. :)
DeleteI see a LARGE face in the middle...very cool..
ReplyDeleteand HEY, go get the 3 Wise Men...I think we found the CHRISTMAS STAR on the right eyebrow of that big face (left side for us!) :-)
Z, I'm happy you found it cool :) Christmas Star? Yes, could Very Well be.
DeleteCool!
