I See Faces !

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.

Click the picture to go to the APOD site and read all about it, and while there click on it a couple more times to zoom in to your favorite freaky sections.

Update: True to form, I stand corrected.  There is either a horse or bear upper body image left edge center picture.

  1. 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.

    On 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.

    1. 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 :)

      Anyway, nature's art.

    1. 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. :)
