Learn to read something besides your own propaganda, mmmkay?

You amuse me Mr. Whiskers, but I still like you...

FYI I spend a good amount of time looking at what others cannot see, and others mock.

I shot this image not long ago...

Veil Nebula is an old supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus.

It is the remains of cataclysmic explosion of star that exploded between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago. This nebula is about 1,860 light-years distance from our tiny speck..

Guessing, this was a 30x30 @50 sec, stacked, calibrated, bla, bla...Exp. at ISO 800--SCT 10"--Using IP filters etc....

The image floored me when I processed the data....I was blownnnnn away....This was what was left of an epic explosion of a nearby star.

At least . . .

that’s the THEORY.

. . . given our limited perspective

and incredibly finite minds

. . . and incredibly small number of puzzle pieces considering the complexities involved . . .

etc.

etc.

etc.

However, the self convinced are unlikely to see it that way—unless they have a perspective greatly larger than themselves as their foundation.

It looks to me like what the cat did to one of my sweaters.

Cheers!
