Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Have I don't this picture already?  They all look the same anyways, so whatever.  So this is a nebula somewhere deep in space.  Your guess is as good as mine why it is there.  Nobody knows why this particular cloud of gas and dust is so colorful either because it is a thousand miles away.  Someone scientist is probably going to spend their whole life studying this and never figure out anything helpful to anybody.  That's what makes astronomy so much fun.  You can pretty much do whatever the hell you feel like (as long as you look up) and nobody ever expects anything from you.  Sure, they all love the cool pictures and crap, but that's about all their getting.  Billions of dollars so you can have a pretty background on your desktop.
