The Lobster Nebula

[4K/25K]

"Stars occupy minute areas of space
Huddled together a few billion here, a few billion there
As if seeking consolation in numbers."

Comments:

A quick (?) scene thrown together to test out some techniques for making space scenes. The nebulae are made from stretched spheres to which cloud textures have been applied and then progressively tweaked to get the right effect.

A Lobster Nebula is, of course, inherently more interesting and amusing than the Crab Nebula. Tastes better with melted butter as well.
