Space Hand Formed by Low-Energy X-Rays Spotted by NASA Observatory

What you see above is what will be known as the "Space Hand." Why? Because it's a giant freaking hand in space. And no, it's not God (insofar as we can ascertain) and no, it's not Space Ghost (because his hands aren't that big, although he is that awesome) touching an oven.

It actually is a "young and powerful pulsar" known as "PSR B1509-58." And I have also heard it described as a "nebulus." As well as "the most awesome thing to ever happen in the history of things." Yes, I'm more creative than NASA when it comes to nicknames. 

"The pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star which is spewing energy out into the space around it to create complex and intriguing structures, including one that resembles a large cosmic hand," NASA says.

See, the awesome thing about living in today's world of "the internet" and "astronomy" is that we get to see these sort of things. Unfortunately, the sad thing about living in our technologically advanced era is that we have to suffer "scientific explanations" for why there's a giant hand in the middle of the universe reaching into a crazy ball of fire. 

Nowadays, you just can't look into the sky, see something like this and start slaughtering goats as fast as you could in order to appease your Pagan gods. Oh, simpler times.

(Update: Here's a much, much, muchmuchmuch more interesting explanation of the nebulus.)
