God's Hand Found in Space!

I discovered these images on about.com discussion forums. They were originally posted by Dragon Attack and Flux55A, respectively.

This is a new photograph from NASA. It was taken by the Chandra Observatory space-based telescope . It's incredible how much it looks like a human hand! I think it would make an awesome poster! It hasn't been given a proper name yet, but I think the God's Hand Nebula might be a likely candidate.

This one isn't new, but I think it's funny because it looks like God's hand is giving us the finger! It's called the Keyhole Nebula.
