#PPOD: The colors in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope tell a story about density in the Trifid Nebula, a star-forming region about 5000 light-years from Earth. The top left, where it is bright blue, has the least dust. Here, powerful ultraviolet light stripped electrons from nearby gas, creating a glow, with winds creating a bubble by clearing out surrounding dust. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI. Processing: J.

Is anyone else seeing a unicorn in there? Maybe with a traffic cone in its mouth? #pareidolia

There are so many shapes. And the shadows help it to make your imagination run wild.
