Strange things in the jellyfish galaxy

Post by Dusty2 »

The first photo is one of my favorite jelly closeups. I call it the jellyfish galaxy because it looks like something from the Hubble telescope.

While working on this I was also doing 2 other pix of the same jelly when I noticed something strange in the second picture. Check out the the closeup for a very unusual hitch hiker!

Rich - that 1st pic is amazingly beautiful.
I can't make out what the hitchhiker is on the other one?

No imagination :neener:

It's not a real critter but an almost perfect image of one. Enlarge the photo to full size and then look where the white dot is. Once you see it you won't be able to "Not see it"
Lets give it a bit more time for others to try.
Everyone I have shown it to on the computer sees it with no problem.

I love the galaxy shot. Very nice.

I was lost too on the "hitchhiker" until you gave the hint about the white dot. You're right, once you see it you can't not see it.

lol - I saw the object of the white dot but I thought you were serious about an underwater critter hitchhiker. I saw the almost perfect vision of the (I won't say) with the white spot on it's shoulder right off but was looking for a "REEF" type critter from you. :smt064

I see two hitchhikers :) cool
When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.
