The Many Nebula's Near Orion

Democrat Politicians are pure evil, but here are some interesting nebulae.

Click the picture to go to the APOD site.  Hover over the picture there to overlay the names of the nebulae and other celestial points of interest.  Click the picture and explore in detail.  I triple guarantee no democrats are in there.

These are only 1500 light years from where you are standing, so these are very easy to explore with a small telescope.

  1. There's something called WITCH HEAD, so I'm thinking at least Hillary is in there? :-)

    1. Z, witches are no where near evil enough to represent the hildebeast.

      Beside, this particular nebula is very playful and only casts fun spells.

    2. I think in actuality we may be IN "it," and "it" is all AROUND us. Our earth is like one very small pea in an unimaginably large pot of constantly simmering vegetable-bean soup.

    3. FT, Not sure what you mean, but I agree. Yea, not even a speck of dust really. Zero in on the Horsehead nebula and blow it up to full screen.

      Horsehead1

      Horsehead2


      The Earth couldn't even be represented by one pixel in either of those.
