Nebula NGC7008. A coincidence?
-
Heh. Nice. But if you'd asked me, the first thing I'd've said would've been "jellyfish."
-
It does look rather more like a jellyfish, actually...
-
As I understand it, none of those nebulas or any of that other space stuff is ever really colored like that in... well, "real life". They spruce it up on computers, or something.
-
They do?
-
Jellyfish it is.
-
May or may not (http://www.snopes.com/photos/space/eyeofgod.asp) aid in Glorb's confusion.
-
I was thinking that at first but it looks more like a jelleyfish.

That's actually what I was thinking of when you mentioned sprucing up. I don't think NASA or whoever recolor their photos before releasing them; that must've been some weiner with Photoshop.

Metriods practically are jellyfish.
-
It probably does look like a jellyfish to a regular person, but I've played through "Metroid 2" and "3" so many times in the past 10 years that I have Metroids ingrained in my brain. Also to me it looks like it has those teeth (or whatever they are) that Metroids have, and doesn't have those skinny dangly tentacles that most jellyfish have.
Incidentally, my friend says he can see Mario's face in it, too.
As I understand it, colors in pictures of nebulae are enhanced, but not randomly selected. The colors of stars and gas are based on their chemistry. Closer nebulae can be seen with faint colors, and the levels of those are greatly increased for photos in books, magazines etc. Our instruments can't see any color in further nebulae, so colors are added based on their known or hypothetical chemical compositions, giving an impression of what they might look like (again, with the contrast turned up).
Edit: I should probably post where I found the picture. - http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap080825.html
-
^ Yeah, that's it.
Besides, there is no color without light and, obviously, space is pretty dark in most places.
-
They have telescopes that track what they want to take pictures of, and use cameras with really, really long exposure times.
That's what a professor I had said, anyway.
-
To me, it vaguely looks like a Toad with sunglasses screaming. I guess it's right for him to scream, since he is missing his body.

You can't unsee it.
-
That's a big Negative Zone...
Geez! A Metroid, Toad, Luigi... let's just call it the Nintendo Nebula and be done with it!
On the other hand, I guess we know which side God (or whoever) is on in the console war.

Good heavens, man! You've either ruined it, or made it incredibly cool.
And you're right, I can't unsee it. Whenever I look at the regular picture, there's Luigi in all his celestial glory.
-
But God supposedly has endless wisdom. What is the point of a console war? Anyway...

It's still Luigi.

QFT.

QFT.
Quantum field theory?

Turtlekid... did you post that because you had to post something?
-
The timer on his explosive collar was at the 00:14 mark. He has to post to set it back to 30:00.
-
Sapphira needs to get that particular signature back and start posting again so people will see it.
-
Turtlekid... did you post that because you had to post something?
I can't agree with an opinion now? :P
-
You can, but that particular post was of rather low content. Going by your posting history it seems that you post more simply to say something, rather than posting when you have something to say.
-
I'm sorry, perhaps I should lay off a little bit... but in that particular instance, I was voicing my agreement in that way because I didn't have anything to add.

I promise to never post that again.
-
omg someone said something obvious then you ppl started making fun of that haha I laught because it is funny except captain obvious he sucks 4chan sucks
-
'looks at Uvaz'
I don't know whether I should say something or not...
-
Has he ever of of proper grammar and etiquette?
-
Yes. (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?action=profile;u=58668;sa=showPosts)
-
You should be able to sort posts by grammatical correctness. The search engine could correlate with an auto/inert-spellchecker.
-
Well, he's right. 4chan does kinda suck.
-
Understatement of the Year.
-
Yeah, It's more so the people on 4chan that make it look like crap.
-
You guys are so hyperbolic.
Now I want to play Metroid Zero Mission.
-
I want to beat Metroid Prime but I never felt up to the challenge. I never even got to the first save point.
-
Well, he's right. 4chan does kinda suck.
I disagree. You can not beat the awesomeness of All Your Base.
-
And what the heck does Zero Wing have to do with 4chan? It was around long before 4chan was even created.
-
Something Awful and Fark made AYB into a meme, not 4chan.
-
I get tired of internet humor bigots. Don't discriminate funniness based on where a joke came from. I mean, yes, some memes do get old, but it's not like anyone's spamming people with Captain Obvious (or any other such fad, for that matter) around here.
-
The point is that people give more credit to 4chan that it deserves. (More than zero)
-
I think the point ShadowBrain was trying to make is that you should go by whether the jokes are funny or not, not which site they came from. If that's not the point he's trying to make, it's certainly the one I'm trying to make.
-
Memes tend to get really annoying (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=11351.0) after some time, though.
-
Well, it's not like I'm going to deliberately post stuff because it annoys people. After all, like everyone else said/knows, oversaturation is one of the key elements of de-funnying.
-
We should make the Nintendo Nebula a meme. ; )
-
We shouldn't make anything a meme. |:(
