The "layering" looks more like the way heat radiating off a dark building melts "fins" into a frozen pile of dirty snow (see it in our back yard every winter.)
What a wonderful photo!! Go Rosetta and Philae!

Lovely photo! We watched a lecture from Professor Carolin Crawford at Gresham this evening about star dust and the Iris Nebula was used as a beautiful example.

Re: APOD: NGC 4651: The Umbrella Galaxy (2014 Jul 02)
The remnant core is one of the interesting features in today's APOD. They would seem to be pretty unique objects but don't ever remember reading of them before. If our galaxy has had previous collisions where would the remnant core reside following the interaction? http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures...

Re: APOD: The Hercules Cluster of Galaxies (2014 Jun 25)
Although 500 million years distant is relatively close in astronomical terms, when the light we are now seeing from the Hercules cluster left it, here on Earth the Cambrian period was at its height. That was when some of the most basal forms of our vertebrate ancestors were flourishing. Humbling an...

Oh my, this image was well composed and presented. Thank you.
Thanks for the info that this image was taken from the northern hemisphere. Looks like we might finally get some clear nights in our area for telescoping.
