its cool space is not staring at you any more than any thing that vaguely looks like an eye can be made to look more like an eye using computers, prob less in this case as a lot of the info in that pic was prob originally observed in a spectrum unseeable by human eyes

It is good to see the human-made lights so numerous. One glorious day there will be no natural lights left. We look forward to that time.

In writing that long post on the Mad Men thread about the first color photo from space, I ended up thinking about it a bit more and <a href="http://www.quartzcity.net/2012/05/11/it-didnt-bother-you-to-see-the-world-tiny-and-unprotected-surrounded-by-darkness/";>wrote a lot more over here</a> (I posted it to MetaFilter too, but found some horrid typos and missing words).
Anyway, in the middle of all the writing and link checking I ran across this video that took 24 hours of the DISH Earth channel, time-compressed it down to 3:18 and soundtracked it with a banging mid-70s disco funk track from Brass Connection. It's been a shit couple of days and this completely snapped me out of it. Hooray for the Internet! This is the best thing I've seen in days:

It's not on APOD YET - http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2013/12
Unlike other celestial objects there is no question how the Horsehead Nebula got its name. This iconic silhouette of a horse's head and neck pokes up mysteriously from what look like whitecaps of interstellar foam. The nebula has graced astronomy books ever since its discovery over a century ago. But Hubble's infrared vision shows the horse in a new light. The nebula, shadowy in optical light, appears transparent and ethereal when seen at infrared wavelengths. This pillar of tenuous hydrogen gas laced with dust is resisting being eroded away by the radiation from a nearby star. The nebula is a small part of a vast star-forming complex in the constellation Orion. The Horsehead will disintegrate in about 5 million years.
