This is a pretty “close up” shot of the classic dual-coloured Trifid nebula. I reckon it should be renamed because the red and blue remind me of police lights. The Fuzz. The Coppers. The Pigs. The Poo Lice. You know when these colours appear in your rear-view mirror you automatically clench and sit up straight – even if you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s a universal reflex at this point because you don’t trust the government, not because you’re guilty.
