Technically his gaze can't pierce Pisces Australis because Pisces Australis is his Eye. It's quite hard to look at your own eye.

Seriously, that's quite cool. Maybe it's Morgoth's Eye; you know, everything Sauron did he copied from Morgoth, but on a smaller scale. Sauron's Eye is a joke compared to Morgoth's, the size of a Solar System. Plus, Morgoth did get cast out of the World... I find this theory likely.

Wow, was that a chance angle or does it look like that all the time? It's pretty amazing either way.

Silmaril

Looks like Morgoth and Sauron are trying to make their presence known...

Or an escape from the Void, perhaps?

Esape from the void huh? The valar are gonna be so mad at him.

Seriously, that is a stunning picture,looks a lot like the Eye. There's another nebula thing called the eye of God that's sort of blue coloured.

Art imitating life or life imitating art? That's a great picture.

Of course.

That is a very interesting picture. Even my brother who is not a fan said it looked like Sauron's eye when I asked him what he thought it looked like. It looks kinda creepy though...

Ah! It looks so beautiful!

Very interesting, and since it's so young we might have a chance to view it for awhile before it morphs again. Very interesting though, that they say it was one stage in the forming of a new batch of planets...

...So, we all came from a disembodied eye? ( Forget it, i'm being a nerd.)

I once painted upside-down standing on a chair... That took forever to construct. In other terms, I was bent completely over (head back) and had to stand on a chair because I was shorter than the ceiling, and it was one of those A-frame houses. That's why I had to bend backwards. I think I still have that chair...


Yep! Here it is:



I'm thinking about selling it. It hasn't been used except to hold books for the past three years.

Most impressive, on both visual and astronomical notes.

First visual-spectrum observation of this particual phenomenon, further evidence of extrasolar planets...and it looks darn cool!

The Eye

Amazing picture, and somewhat frightening when you set it as your desktop background (like I did) and it grows several times in size.

Quantum Physics, in part, I believe. If you mean where thought can create an event, or is the basis of a creation. I wish I could give you a specific link to that part of quantum physics, but all I really found and know of is a movie that goes into detail about human nature and our thoughts. I've seen it, but It might not be as deep of an explanation as you might want. (There is some quirky animation... )

Link

Hope this helps...
