"What's happening in the Statue of Liberty nebula? Bright stars and interesting molecules are forming and being liberated. The complex nebula resides in the star forming region called RCW 57. This image showcases dense knots of dark interstellar dust, bright stars that have formed in the past few million years, fields of glowing hydrogen gas ionized by these stars, and great loops of gas expelled by dying stars.
A detailed study of NGC 3576, also known as NGC 3582 and NGC 3584, uncovered at least 33 massive stars in the end stages of formation, and the clear presence of the complex carbon molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are thought to be created in the cooling gas of star forming regions, and their development in the Sun's formation nebula five billion years ago may have been an important step in the development of life on Earth. The featured image was taken at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.”

It looks like she's carrying a Smith & Wesson 38 Special airweight in titanium with a modified trigger pull set to 3 lb.

My friend saw that too. I see a puppy with floppy ears, his nose is right above the light blue blob, like it's his chew toy, then his eyes above then his little floppy ears. It looks like hes playing with his butt up and theres a suggestion of a tail.....i don't see any skulls or faces. I'll have to look maybe from a different angle.
