Explanation: What created this huge space bubble? Blown by the wind from a star, this tantalizing, head-like apparition is cataloged as NGC 7635, but known simply as the Bubble Nebula. Taken from Krakow, Poland, the featured view utilizes a long exposure to reveal the intricate details of this cosmic bubble and its environment. Although it looks delicate, the 10 light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work. Seen here right of the Bubble's center, a bright hot star is embedded in the nebula's reflecting dust. A fierce stellar wind and intense radiation from the star, which likely has a mass 10 to 20 times that of the Sun, has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud. The intriguing Bubble Nebula lies a mere 11,000 light-years away toward the boastful constellation Cassiopeia.

Wow.
You can see the bust of a man or woman inside the bubble.
And when that bubble bursts it’s going to cover their whole head.
Looks like a jellyfish
Aptly named.
How will the man or the woman inside the bubble go out to get a cheeseburger?
What are the surface tension equations for a bubble in space?
That is the weirdest, most impossible thing I’ve ever seen!
If anything out there looks alive, it’s this thing.
Orders are, nobody can see the great Oz! Not nobody, not no how!
Indeed. It has a ghostly appearance.
Today's Pareidolia...I see skull that is not a human skull, but round, the eye sockets are triangular, and the eyes stare out from them at the observer. The Nose is missing and damaged, the mouth is damaged as well, like there was a sword battle and the face had massive damage. Glad this is actually just blowoff from a stellar explosion.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this were a couple of lines from a Dylan song.
"Ghosts of electricity, howl in bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna, are now taking place!
b. dylan 'Visions of Johanna"
I don't know. My imagination has been too busy today!
