Explanation: The eggs from this gigantic chicken may form into stars. The featured emission nebula, shown in scientifically assigned colors, is cataloged as IC 2944 but known as the Running Chicken Nebula for the shape of its greater appearance. Seen toward the bottom of the image are small, dark molecular clouds rich in obscuring cosmic dust. Called Thackeray's Globules for their discoverer, these "eggs" are potential sites for the gravitational condensation of new stars, although their fates are uncertain as they are also being rapidly eroded away by the intense radiation from nearby young stars. Together with patchy glowing gas and complex regions of reflecting dust, these massive and energetic stars form the open cluster Collinder 249. This gorgeous skyscape spans about 60 light-years at the nebula's estimated 6,500 light-year distance.
Looks more like Woody Woodpecker.
I missed a question. “Was it part of a bridge to nowhere?”
I think so. It’s probably the Bifrost. And Thor broke the Bifrost to protect Sweet. So now it’s the Bifrost to nowhere.
Nope I remembered that wrong. Thor broke the Bifrost to stop the war against the Frost Giants, not to protect Sweet.
How can one call it a “gorgeous skyscape” when it is “scientifically assigned colors” (meaning fake colors) and it take hours of exposure to be able to “see” it in real colors?.
I’m a fan of good television commercials - they’re the main reason I (used to) watch the Superbowl.
I almost never remember the product, I just remember the commercial; and this is my current favorite:

Yes, I like that commercial too.
