Explanation to Blue Anomaly?
Sky-map.org ^

Posted on 07/07/2011 1:49:11 PM PDT by VaeVictis

Does anyone know, or have heard an explanation, for this blue anomaly?

I’m no expert, but I have never seen anything like this in a space photo before. It has a very organic look to it.

Aren’t all space photos colored after the fact? Is it REALLY blue?

It is the Swine-Faced Nebula or

more commonly known as the Pig-Headed Penumbra

Maybe it’s one of the Great Old Ones. Aren’t they supposed to inhabit the vast spaces between the stars? By the way, that is one of the coolest sites I’ve seen in a while. Kinda makes me homesick...

Thanks KoRn. By way of a chain of associations, I realize that I haven't listened to the Smitereens in a while.

It’s a clump of cat hair on the lens.
