  • Christian kittens

    A preacher comes upon a girl playing with a box holding a litter of new-born kittens inside. “What kind of kittens are those?”, he asked.

    “They are Christian kittens”, she said. He left pleased she had Jesus in her thoughts.

    Days later he saw her again. “How are your Christian kittens doing?”, he asked.

    “Oh, they aren’t Christian kittens, they are Atheist”, she replied.

    “I thought they were Christian kittens.” said the preacher.

    “Oh, they were. But now their eyes are open!”

    Huge waves are sculpted in this two-lobed nebula some 3000 light-years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. This warm planetary nebula harbors one of the hottest stars known and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometres high. The waves are caused by supersonic shocks, formed when the local gas is compressed and heated in front of the rapidly expanding lobes. The atoms caught in the shock emit the spectacular radiation seen in this image.
