Oh no, he is still alive !!!

Yes, Sauron, the Dark Lord himself still exists in one of the far corners of our galaxy!
You want proof?

Btw, don't believe that "stellar dust ring" stuff, all lies spread by his minions at NASA to make us feel safe.
Fortunately, Arien and Tilion also seem to be around.

Awesome!

And yes it's a little twisted but you know He has not yet have time enough to pull himself together after the last defeat. Just wait the next 100 million years and He will have a symmetric eye! Then earthlings beware!

It's really scary, ain't it? That he's somewhere out there in the Void, indeed... waiting... or rather, watching...

I can't decide if that's really gorgeous or really scary. Gorgeous is winning, though.

I am continually amazed at the beauty and complexity of the universe we live in.

Thanks for posting this, Might!

Yes, it is so complex that even Sauron can be found around there. If you imagine Tolkien was writing and unbeknownst to him, this was watching him from the distance of some 25 LY (which is not that much, for that matter!)...

Thumbs up Great!

Just what was Varda thinking, making a star like that?!

Anyway, that is an awesome picture. It's difficult to believe it's not photo-shopped.

Yes, that is where he has been lurking! Is it better or worse that he is out there in space verse out planet ? Lets hope he doesn't try for universal domination.

Yeah, let's hope that the star in the middle of him doesn't die and become a black hole...

Well if it really was Sauron that's what a star-Sauron would do

Hold me.

Ha, yes he would I suppose...no orcs to do his bidding in space so perhaps he would have a hard time gaining power any other way.

I'm laughing thinking of how excited all the scientists got when they saw that image, seeing as so many of them are Tolkien fans. I bet there was some coffee spilled that day and a lot of shouting of "Whoa!".

The Eye Wow...

I read everyone's comments before I looked at the picture, so by the time I clicked the link I was thinking, What's the big deal? It can't have THAT much resemblance! Then I saw the great eye, looking right AT ME! He's alive!!

There goes my hope for peaceful dreams tonight.

Hold on while I have a minor freak-out. OK, I think I'll recover. Weird, scary, and awesome at the same time.
