This also means Gigantic Celestial Bodies also prefer Firefox over Opera, Safari and Konqueror as well.

Way to be an obvious Microsoft hater.

@N@tedog: Novas outnumber planets in total :P

Kaiser-Machead

Nova and Firefox
Coincidentally cool
Show me Penguin star

N@tedog

Yeah but doesn't every ringed planet look like the IE logo? And I bet ringed planets out number kick ass looking novas like that one. Just like REAL LIFE!

N@tedog

it looks like a lizard from afar..

Amiash

Should.... have sent... a poet....

homerjay

hahaha awesome.

Ypoknons

That's a stretch. Looks more like Hal 9000 with a cataract.

I like the Firefox pic of the cat in her shirt hugging the boobie better.

liveinvt

Considering life probably can't exist anywhere near that symbol, is that an endorsement? Or a death threat to those using firefox?

Looks more like an photo from Ghost Busters 2. Isn't it about time they put out a director's cut without Rick Moranis?

JesusBeanBag

Call me when you locate the infamous Penguin In Space, m-kay?

Monty

@Kaiser-Machead: known planets maybe

N@tedog

Pretty old picture. I have the full size version from 2004.

All those sparklies around the constellation must be leaked memory.

Check it out, i found out that flames hate you guys, and prefer Engadget to Gizmodo.

Im joking, BTW.

diabolusunknown

Isn't it more a yin-yang?

@diabolusunknown: Lots of celestial bodies prefer opera, given the many huge O's out there. Only sailors like Safari.

Gets even more interesting when you see the time-lapse movie.

Also, the N icons on the wall of the 2/3/4/5 Nevins St. subway station in Brooklyn look like the Netscape logo.

What?

Satorical

wow that thing is beautiful...

@ApostolicFire: care to post a link? that looks like my new desktop picture...

undeadmachine

@Buran: dude, that looks like mumra's eye exploding!

@Buran: COOL!

graffiksguru

omg, will the FF fanboys ever stop?

That imagery from space reminds me of so many things I like, past and present.

@coolpengwn: Thank you so much! A) I needed a good laugh, especially at someone other than myself. B) Nice to know I'm not the only one making very public errors today! Cheers!

now.. how do we launch that in the space?

Hey that's pretty cool!

It IS a big universe.
There's room for all kinds of crazy shit.

"I'll be impressed when we see a celestial body that looks like an iPod."

I'll be impressed when I see a celestial body that looks like a celestial body... and I'm not talkin' black holes or gas giants....

Monocerotis? As in single turd. In spanish cerote is the word for turd. Just thought I'd share.

Apple is a zealous entity. Whether it is New York City (the big apple) or a celestial body, if it does resemble an Apple, APPLE WILL SUE.

@N@tedog: Stars still outnumber planets in the galaxy, since for any one group of planets in a solar system, there's millions/billions more that have none, and planets die out all the time.

Kaiser-Machead

I'm going to start a company and the logo is going to be just black. Most of space is pitch black, not to mention much of earth. That's a lot of free advertising. Now what should I sell? Maybe shadows...

digodemais

Now I remember why I stopped coming here. Because every other post has a to inject either the ipod or the iphone when the article has absolutely nothing to do with apple. Hope you have fun spending those kickbacks, cause you just may have lost another reader.

cybereality

OMG! Ponies!

@cybereality:

Such a loss...

NeoAkira

@cybereality: Sorry to see someone so disgruntled iPod iPod iPod by such little things. Please don't iPhone iPhone iPhone let the door hit you in the butt on Apple FTW! your way out.

God even uses Firefox.

It'd be really weird if we found a galaxy shaped like an 'E' with an orbiting comet

@undeadmachine: Try [www.stsci.edu] (Space Telescope Science Institute) or [www.hubblesite.org.] I'm not posting a diret link because (1) I haven't hunted it down yet and (2) you'll have a lot more fun finding more desktop pictures than you're expecting right now.

Buran

@Buran: thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

@FinalValgas: This is prove that God knows better
