Firefox Logo Seen in Deep Space

Space is going to slap such a huge lawsuit on the Mozilla foundation now, just you wait.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say the Firefox logo looks like the star, not the other way around. Unless you would also say that there's this flat savory pastry in Italy that totally looks like pizza.

Proof that FireFox is better than IE?

definite proof!!

I always get confused at space pictures, if they aren't true color, then what do the colors mean??

Mozilla Firefox, too, is the atheist's nightmare!

I see a descicated lizard in the photo, not a fox. Maybe I need better glasses.

Nastia, I believe they are taken in the infrared spectrum. The different colors represent varying degrees of heat.

Sorry, I don't know who made it.

Lovely!

I always wondered where the logo came from!

My God. It's full of stars....@_@

If I squint really hard and turn my head to the left then yea... I see it. :-)

I see the yin-yang symbol, no I see a wave, wait, it is a whirlpool, yeah, whirlpool, definately a whirlpool.

Love the subtle literary reference, Ali.

Zing! ;)

Not all space photos are taken in infrared. It can also just be a matter of what kind (colors) of lens filters they use for some. They do try to get close to the true color, though. And there are many other kinds of light (by which I mean wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum) they use, though many of those don't produce images of stars as the common observer would recognize. Astronomy magazine had a neat little article on it years ago with a handy panel showing the same object's picture taken many different ways. Haven't found an equivalent online.
