[http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap030630.html?list=true](http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap030630.html?list=true) Might be a touch offensive to some viewers, but hey, the Almighty Sky Artist did this his own darn self.

I always look at the Astronomy Picture of the Day. What amused me about this picture was the following comment: > [@](#): > > This Carina sub-cloud is particularly striking partly because its clear definition stimulates the human imagination (e.g. it could be perceived as a superhero flying through a cloud, arm up, with a saved person in tow below). Uh… right… That’s EXACTLY what it makes me think of. Really. ---
