WHOA CHECK THIS OUT MOTHERFUCKER I'M NORMAL-RENDERED

THE POWER COSMIC IS COMING
That's the Eskimo nebula, aka NGC 2392. IS THIS NOT GLORIOUS.
From the APOD feed:
In 1787, astronomer William Herschel discovered the Eskimo Nebula. From the ground, NGC 2392 resembles a person's head surrounded by a parka hood. In 2000, the Hubble Space Telescope imaged the Eskimo Nebula. From space, the nebula displays gas clouds so complex they are not fully understood. The Eskimo Nebula is clearly a planetary nebula, and the gas seen above composed the outer layers of a Sun-like star only 10,000 years ago. The inner filaments visible above are being ejected by strong wind of particles from the central star. The outer disk contains unusual light-year long orange filaments. The Eskimo Nebula spans about 1/3 of a light year and lies in our Milky Way Galaxy, about 3,000 light years distant, toward the constellation of the Twins (Gemini).
LIGHT-YEAR LONG FILAMENTS, MOTHERFUCKERS.
WOO HOO, CHECK ME OUT, I'M NORMAL-RENDERED.
And people say comic book astronomy is too colorful.
(This squee is what happens when you have a father that was big into astronomy.)
