Explanation: Clouds of stardust drift through this deep skyscape, across the Perseus molecular cloud some 850 light-years away. Dusty nebulae reflecting light from embedded young stars stand out in the nearly 2 degree wide telescopic field of view. With a characteristic bluish color reflection nebula NGC 1333 is at center, vdB 13 at top right, with rare yellowish reflection nebula vdB 12 near the top of the frame. Stars are forming in the molecular cloud, though most are obscured at visible wavelengths by the pervasive dust. Still, hints of contrasting red emission from Herbig-Haro objects, the jets and shocked glowing gas emanating from recently formed stars, are evident in NGC 1333. The chaotic environment may be similar to one in which our own Sun formed over 4.5 billion years ago. At the estimated distance of the Perseus molecular cloud, this cosmic scene would span about 40 light-years.

The Tanzany are a type of violent alien race that like to create disasters. From a planet near the Gorgonea Secunda Star of the Perseus constellation, they have extremely advanced technology.

When I clicked on the image i could see a spaceship! Very clearly. And then I saw it moved. I thought that odd. This is a photograph and images should not move unless some alien technology exists that we do not know about. Well . . . as it turned out it was my cursor. You can imagine my disappointment.

Really? They create disasters...they have extremely advanced technology.
The only thing I disagree with is the illustration of their appearance.
They are us.

It was all just an illusion. They have ways of infiltrating technology, distorting it.... changing it.

You won’t even know it’s happening. They’re coming... they’re here... all around us.

Watching... waiting...
