Flying Spaghetti Monster

RickS (Rick) · #1 15-04-2018, 04:36 PM

This little section of M78 has always reminded me of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Full image to follow in a few days, or maybe longer, when I'm happy with it...

Looking forward to the finished version Rick.

Certainly looks like a place where a monster would live!

Atmos (Colin) · #4 15-04-2018, 05:01 PM

That Black Spot!

His Noodly Appendage is seen everywhere! I’ve always though Rho Ophiucii and Antares was another manifestation of his noodliness.
Nice image, that’s a subtly contrasting bit of dark nebulosity there - really impressive data and processing!
Cheers
Andrew.

Haunting. Glowing embers amongst coals. Beautiful, very different.

LewisM · #7 15-04-2018, 08:23 PM

I'm waiting for the Chitauri to come flying out of it....

Thanks, Geoff. I had two sets of data, neither quite enough, but together it looks promising.

I reckon so too, Andrew. It can't be a coincidence! Thanks

Thanks you, M&T! I'll identify the HH objects and annotate when I'm done. Must be a few in there.

That'd definitely be an APOD, Lewis. I'll keep an eye out.

This isn't just a random monster, David. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster

I’d be happy with it and I’m not a pasta … pasta …

Well done Rick for getting the faint tentacles.
This Pastafarian approves.

If I decide to be anything Pastafarianism is top of the list, Peter.

Not mine. Hadn't heard mention of the FSM in years, and when you wrote it I recalled that ASCII art from many years ago on USENET groups. Memories...

I had seen it before also. ASCII art was big in the days of line printers (the late Jurassic?)
