“As with clouds in the Earth’s sky, astronomers often find likenesses within ‘cosmic clouds’ – nebulas. The Wide Field Imager telescope in Chile recently captured a sharp new image of star-forming region NGC 3324, which is nicknamed the Gabriela Mistral Nebula, after the Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet. You can ‘see’ Mistral’s face in profile in the star-forming gas cloud. The edge of the wall of gas and dust at the right is her face in profile – the bump in the center is supposed to be Mistral’s nose.” w/ photos
