Explanation: Yes, but can you see the lion? A deep exposure shows the famous dark indentation that looks like a horse's head, visible just left and below center, and known unsurprisingly as the Horsehead Nebula. The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) is part of a vast complex of dark absorbing dust and bright glowing gas. To bring out details of the Horsehead's pasture, an astrophotographer artistically combined light accumulated for over 20 hours in hydrogen (orange), oxygen (blue), and sulfur (green). The resulting spectacular picture captured from Raachine, Lebanon, details an intricate tapestry of gaseous wisps and dust-laden filaments that were created and sculpted over eons by stellar winds and ancient supernovas. The featured composition brings up another pareidolic animal icon -- that of a lion's head -- in the expansive orange colored gas above the horse's head. The Flame Nebula is visible just to the left of the Horsehead. The Horsehead Nebula lies 1,500 light years distant towards the constellation of Orion.

(Sort of like this is a terrestrial brunette who just came out of a Hair styling salon "Ex Draco!" )
I will not do a run down all the other stuff I see!
Pareidolia:
("Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, seeing faces in inanimate objects, or lunar pareidolia like the Man in the Moon or the Moon rabbit.Wikipedia")
I see a pizza.
But then I haven't eaten dinner yet.
And also I just got back from ShopRite.
Be back in a little bit, I gotta go.
Charging cape buffalo with nostrils flared.
The Horse Head Nebula is at the bottom, left of center.
I see a shaggy dog with a big black eye, an owl; and someone who looks a little like Donald Rumsfeld toward the left...
Danny. ok.... I see the lion, a female lion.
The brunette is on the front of the Bigfoot but you need to blow the picture up.
