It's so obvious, it's Master Hand.

April 6, 2009--A new x-ray image has revealed an unusual hand-shaped nebula that brings a whole new meaning to the expression "reach for the stars."

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory recently snapped this shot of energetic particles streaming from a pulsar-the rapidly rotating core left behind after a very massive star exploded as a supernova.

Known as B1509, the pulsar is thought to be about 1,700 years old and lies roughly 17,000 light-years from Earth.

The tiny pulsar is just 12 miles (19.3 kilometers) wide. But it is spinning so fast-it makes seven complete rotations every second-that the particles it spews have created a nebula spanning 150 light-years.

The pulsar's rapid rotation likely helped create the nebula's odd shape. Its finger-like pillars appear to be transferring energy to a nearby gas cloud, which glows orange and red in x-rays.

The good one or the bad one?

They're both bad guys. o.o

But according to the shape, the location of the thumb and the fact that the 'palm' is bending slightly towards you , it's Master Hand, who's the giant right hand.

"It's... a hand, isn't it?"

"It's a hand."

"Do you think... it'll grab it?"

"I think... that it wants to grab it."

"But... I mean, that's just so obvious, isn't it?"

That's my hand. I used a really kickass siddhi to make it appear like that in the endless depths of outer space.

Let's just hope this cosmic hand doesn't play a dirty game of "pull my finger".

The results could be catastrophic.

Now that I think about it, that nebula looks alot like one of the floating hands of Spirit Doku from Ninja Gaiden Black. Odd.
