Lofty Matters

Here’s another picture for you. I seem to gravitate toward astronomy pictures for some reason. Anyway, this is called the “Cats Paw Nebula”

Nebula are known and named for the shapes they can be identified with. At 5,500 light years away, Cat’s Paw is an emission nebula with red colors that is created from an abundance of ionized hydrogen atoms.

This picture was taken by the Mayall 4-Meter Telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona, USA.
