Some photographers

Postby patchz » Thu Jul 07, 2011 3:55 am

I found this shot of some guy named Helix Nebulae's eye taken by some photographer named Spitzer. I don't how he got it so messed up.

I tried to fix it for him by running my red eye filter, but then there was so much messed up, the best I could do was just the eye ball.

That NASA web site is weird.

My fix

No photographers were harmed in this experiment. ::)

What we question is their condition before the experiment. ;)

Umm, this particular group of photographers seemed ok. Not sure about the 'artist' involved. ::)

For those that don't know.. in the original picture, what you are looking at is a Red Giant Star that exploded and is now a Red Dwarf Star.

Nothing wrong with being a space nerd! I find it intriguing too, especially now that I know what the original image was.

But you can't blame Patches, after all it does look like someones eye. ;)

Of course it looks like an eye!  I believe it has even been given the nickname the red eye galaxy!

Better increase that time by a BIG amount alrot.  Our sun is under the Chakisdraer limit.  Pardon if I spelled that wrong.

Yeah. And when humans go extinct cockroaches will take over and evolve into these [smiley=shocked.gif].
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
