Space Mountain

This towering astrological find is known as the Cone Nebula. It was one of the first images photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope after a major overhaul to the device in 2002 that included the addition of a higher-powered camera. When images of the Cone Nebula first appeared, a number of people gave it the unofficial name Jesus Nebula because they believed they could see Christ's face in its towering walls. (Search: NGC 2264)
