Naturally, it's photoshopped.

That is not a real picture.

Naturally, it's photoshopped.

Even the unphotoshopped pictures strikingly look like an eye.

In the southern hemisphere is an enormous structure known as the Chamaeleon complex.
To the naked eye the region around the complex is invisible.

​

Jury-rig a 300mm telephoto lens to a CCD hopefully not destroying the CCD in the process and using a 7 hour exposure time, I was able to image the complex.

​

The dark clouds are extremely cold regions only a few degrees above absolute zero.

The Southern Cross​

With the 'cross' part being an illusion .. (like all the other constellations) .. with Orion being one of the many gods!

Aries, the Lamb of God (Slain from the Foundation of the World)

Gemini: King of Kings and Lord of Lords​

Even the unphotoshopped pictures strikingly look like an eye.

Looks like a blind eye...

QV please:

Orion ... or Chesil in Hebrew ... is a decan of the constellation Taurus in the Mazzaroth (Zodiac).

Rigel means The Foot That Crushes
Bellatrix means Quickly Coming or Swiftly Destroying
Alnitak means The Wounded One
Mintaka means Dividing (as a sacrifice)

313 million-year-old fossil footprints at Grand Canyon are the oldest of their kind found at park

Geologist Allan Krill, a visiting professor from Norway at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), came across a boulder marked with set of fossil footprints while on a hike with students in 2016, according to a news release this week from the park.
Intrigued by his finding, Krill sent a photo of the tracks to colleague Stephen Rowland, a paleontologist at UNLV. Rowland and a team of colleagues documented the discovery in a paper published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One.
"These are by far the oldest vertebrate tracks in Grand Canyon, which is known for its abundant fossil tracks," Rowland said in a statement. "... They are among the oldest tracks on Earth of shelled-egg-laying animals, such as reptiles, and the earliest evidence of vertebrate animals walking in sand dunes."
The boulder containing the fossil tracks was exposed after a cliff collapsed. It had been in plain sight alongside a trail, but had seemingly gone unnoticed until Krill brought it to the attention of geologists.

The fossil itself is neat, of course, but so is the manner of its discovery. Certainly a professor of geology is not just a casual hiker, but still... this discovery might have been made by anyone with the right eye for such things.

That purple one looks like something out of Naruto and yes I'm already aware that you probably don't know what that is lol
