It does bear a remarkable resemblence to a fetus. Coolness. :)

It looks remarkably like the curve of light you get at the edge of a teacup or coffee cup. It has a mathematical name, but I have forgotten it.

The resemblence to a fetus is not coincidental. That C shape is a mathematical probability under many circumstances involving chaotic (in the mathematical sense) formulae. There were a number of models created for biological and physical studies, and many of them spontaneously generate the C curve. You can see it also when you perturb fluids.

Well, I don't know where all these math formulas are coming from, but all I can see is this pretty little heart shape and a lot of gas, and really, isn't that the universe's real message to us all, to get heartburn and belch? :boggle:

Why yes... I used to see it when I perturbed my mother... she'd clop me over the noggin with a long handled wooden spoon ... beautiful... if painful... :o

I'm resurrecting this old APOD thread 'cause Hubble has a new close-up of these colliding galaxies:

Looks like upside down male "baggage". Minus the gravity factor.

So... if your father's sister lived near here, you would have an Aunt in Enna?
