Sharpless 2-106 Nebula, Hubble Space Telescope (December 6, 2011)

Celestial Snow Angel Are there angels in heaven? NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has found one in our Milky Way nearly 2000 light-years away from us— a bipolar star-forming region called Sharpless 2-106 out of this world— looking like a soaring celestial snow angel with bright blue outstretched wings from the central star. These twin lobes of super-hot gas contrast sharply against the colder medium backdrop. Plato visualized the Lambda shape Λ when God created Soul of the Universe that's found in every step we make and every breath we take as well as on the top of coast redwoods and when galaxies come in collision. Plato would be so happy to see the Lambda shape Λ now shining in this celestial snow angel. — Peter Y. Chou     Mountain View, 1-8-2013
