APOD 2.2

The NCG 7841 is a smoke nebula in the constellation Frustriaus. Actually no, this is not a real nebula but rather the amazing result of bad water and the earth's natural elements: water and smoke. In Sweden, astrophotographer Göran Strand  used flash photography to make this photograph. I chose it for the APOD of this week because when I first saw it, I thought it was a real satellite picture of a nebula but I was proven wrong. I for one, think this is a really cool picture and can show how inspirational space can be. I'm also interested now in both what flash photography is exactly and I want to learn more about the cool smoke nebula that looks so realistic in this picture.
