The Eskimo Nebulae

This is the Eskimo Nebulae, named because it looks like a head in a parka hood. Some more of the wonders of the universe. Scientists are not sure why it looks like it does, but have some idea. As always I encourage everyone to visit astronomical sites such as nasa apod, and space.com and go to the links on them to learn more of the universe. Most of what scientists discover here on earth takes place naturally in space. We are closely tied together and most people don't know it! What beauty and wonder, the golden streaks radiating out are light year long, thats 10 ten trillion miles folks!
