Charlie Brown would certainly be proud of this "great pumpkin."
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has found a massive nebula in deep space that "looks like a celestial jack-o'-lantern." The study's researchers have given it the nickname "Jack-o'-lantern Nebula," apropos for Halloween.
It's likely that a star, known as an O-type star, approximately 15 to 20 times heavier than our Sun, is "responsible for sculpting this cosmic pumpkin," NASA JPL said in a statement on its website.

It looks like a Halloween Gambit. Approach with caution.

This is photoshopped. Where are all of the computer nerds in the press who complained when Trump shared a “shooped” photo of him putting a medal on the heroic dog?
It’s okay when it happens to NASA photos?

Doesn't really seem like a jack-nebula, but it's close enough! 😁

Thanks fieldmarshaldj. Unlike the heads of the Demagogic Party officials, the newly discovered jack-o-lantern nebula has a light in it. /stolen
