W5: Pillars of Star Creation

As long as you post these ethereal and complex images, I am going to be reminded of completely non-scientific scriptural cosmologies. Especially when I can see ghost faces and such in 'em. I know it bugs you, but there it is.

So, well... I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, but fercrynoutloud.

Humans are pre-programmed for pattern-recognition in random visual fields. Don't fight it - enjoy it!

Every now and then I almost wish I were an astronomy major.
Then I realize the part I really enjoy is the pretty pictures.
