    Well, I think that this image haven't been taken in "optical window" of electromagnetic spectrum.:D
  • Isn't A2597 a galaxy cluster, rather than just a single one?

    Although I guess that makes it even more impressive!

    You're right, Abell catalog contains galaxy clusters.
  • Edit: if you add two hairy hands on both sides of the original picture, then you have a dirty picture comparable to the Eye of Sauron. ;)
  • Now that is the best ***-goatse picture I have ever seen. :D

    I rather think it's April 25th, 1997, wich would explain [URL=http://forums.firstones.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5990]this[/URL] :D
  • nah, that post is a throwback to the good 'ol days at Sierra's ITF forums.

  • I see the handless version of "Crap Nebula" (not the M1 in the Messier catalogue) is more popular... I'm sorry if I jeopardized someone's mental health. =)
