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

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

Astrology 2.0

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

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

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

hahaha awesome.

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

it looks like a lizard from afar..

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!

Nova and Firefox
Coincidentally cool
Show me Penguin star

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

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

Way to be an obvious Microsoft hater.

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

Isn't it more a yin-yang?

All those sparklies around the constellation must be leaked memory.

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

@Kaiser-Machead: known planets maybe

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?

I wish the universe was open source. @Satorical: What's "Netscape"?

wow that thing is beautiful...

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

@Buran: COOL!

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

The stars in both pics are identical. More like firefox based their logo off of the real thing.

@coolpengwn: NM. I'm a dumbass. Delete previous post.

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

omg, will the FF fanboys ever stop?

@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?

I actually think it looks like the alien logo from the movie series.

@npa190: You don't have to be a fanboy to notice amusing coincidences like this.

@npa190: as soon as the mac boys shut their gob.

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....

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.

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

@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.

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...

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.

I think the main problem lay with our primitive metrics. If, as stated above, ringed planets represent IE and novae represent Firefox, and theoretically disc galaxies represent Safari, while black holes represent Opera, then we must at least all agree that a true accurate representation of the market share of browsers in the universe cannot presently accurately be measured. While I applaud the originality of cosmos-based metrics, this Saganian formula is fatally flawed. (and this stream of BS is before I had my coffee)

@cybereality:

Such a loss...

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

@FinalValgas: This is prove that God knows better
