You may remember my question of a few days ago, wondering why we humans find almost all astronomical photos BEAUTIFUL; why, why, from an evolutionary point of view? I said "almost all," and one exception I was thinking of was this very Eta Carinae nebula, which looks like something out of a Medical Pathology Illustrated volume. It looks disgusting! (Again, why? why? and what is beauty?)
