A perfect image of the notion of brooding.

Powerful.

Forboding. Forbidding. The lull before the storm but which one?

Almost as if it knows something we don't. It doesn't of course, but it has been around long enough to leave the impression and our imaginations are rich enough to entertain the idea and add the details.

It is the first time I've ever seen or heard of the Soul Nebula aka Soul of the Queen of Aethiopia. This has stars--it is an active star nursery--but these have been digitally removed. 

Here it is bedecked with its many, many stars.

Looks much different.
