Explanation: Blown by the wind from a massive star, this interstellar apparition has a surprisingly familiar shape. Cataloged as NGC 7635, it is also known simply as The Bubble Nebula. Although it looks delicate, the 10 light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work. Below and left of the Bubble's center is a hot, O star, several hundred thousand times more luminous and around 45 times more massive than the Sun. A fierce stellar wind and intense radiation from that star has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud. The intriguing Bubble Nebula and associated cloud complex lie a mere 11,000 light-years away toward the boastful constellation Cassiopeia. This tantalizing view of the cosmic bubble is composed from narrowband image data, recording emission from the region's ionized hydrogen and oxygen atoms. To create the three color image, hydrogen and oxygen emission were used for red and blue and combined to create the green channel.

Don Ho lives!!
He was full of more alcohol than gas tho I reckun.
Gorgeous!
It looks like a gigantic, beautiful EYE. I wonder, if one could extrapolate the direction the “pupil” is facing, what its sight is lined up with?
:’) El Camino, appropriate, since Muslims invented astronomy. /s
It’s looking directly at the Face on Mars. ;’)
Thanks, this is a new shirt.
All the great ones live on. ;’)
One big big bomb going off in space.
Here are some snapshots of H-bombs going off that look similar.

I don’t reeeally care how many universes or multiverses there are..
Just embracing the present is a massive struggle to comprehend our pasts and to pursue our futures.
As Jean Claude sKerry
always said
BREENG EET ON!!!
The foundation of universe is spirit,,
All that is visible is not all that exist.
Harness the energy and ride the celestial planes!!

Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.

The Czar Bomba is nothing compared with this of course.
Pretty photo of a H-bomb going off
