The Hand of God Photographed!

Or, a nebula...


From Cosmic Hand Reaches for the Light:





In a new image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, high-energy X-rays emanating from the nebula around PSR B1509-58 have been colored blue to reveal a structure resembling a hand reaching for some eternal red cosmic light.
