Okay, folks, this is a short blog post, but I simply had to share.  I was happily processing my ice photos last night when I was hit with a funny feeling, a feeling of déjà vu…all over again.  (Sorry, I truly can’t help myself.)  I knew I had seen an image similar to my photo on the right, but, for the life of me, I couldn’t remember the “what” and “where” behind the photographic doppleganger.  Thankfully, I’m a woman of the 2000’s, so I just dialed up my internet and, after just a few minutes of searching , I found it!  It’s a “black hole-powered jet of electrons and sub-atomic particles streams from center of galaxy.”  Of course it is.  Just what I was thinking. 

I might have added some effects to my photo — the light, the orange and the sprinkling of stars – but otherwise, the ice formation was left “as is.”  An ice formation, by the way, that clearly knows what it wants to be when it grows up — an astronomical phenomenon.  You can see the unadulterated ice photo below. 

By the way, the photos at Hubblesite.org are simply mind-blowing.  We are so small, you and I.
