Duck Head Nebula

[gorann]

Finally a clear sky on Thursday, so I managed to catch the Bubble Nebula just before if came too close to the horizon. Explore Scientific 127ED 14 x 8 min Canon 60Da ISO 1600 on EQ8.

I hope it is not just me that think it looks like a rubber duck head shooting out of the nebula and heading straight towards earth.........

Maybe the duck is floating on gravitational waves.

No mushrooms Martin, it is a few months yet before they turn up, just akvavit since it is Saturday and the sky is grey.

Gravitational waves... of course!.... That's why I keep oversleeping, time is changing but my body clock isn't!

Now to become my stock excuse for being late/early for anything... 'sorry, it was the waves...blame Einstein!'
