- MadCactus, on 04/12/2008, -10/+252Does the AdBlock extension work for this gas cloud, or do I have to wait until it's out of beta?
- ZephyrNinety, on 04/12/2008, -8/+162And on the eighth day, Flying Spaghetti Monster created Firefox.
- mentallyinhell, on 04/12/2008, -6/+154Firefox: a gift from the heavens.
- Lutremi, on 04/12/2008, -4/+107Ohohoho, you don't see a gigantic IE or a compass in the sky do you?
- thinkart, on 04/12/2008, -5/+85oh Monocerotis V838, you're such a cute 'lil variable star aren't you? yes you are!

I lol'd 2 years and 124 days ago. - BlueSkyfish, on 04/12/2008, -2/+61Adblock works on beta 5 now.
- lougoose, on 04/12/2008, -6/+54Each little star is an Add-On. And together, they make up the almighty FireFox.

- BigManOnCampus, on 04/12/2008, -5/+42It's something I had been doodling as a kid, I liked the pattern...
The old man said I had a destiny, that it had already been written. - Onyxblaze, on 04/12/2008, -1/+35Oh god no.
- LoveAndSeagulls, on 04/12/2008, -4/+38I knew it.
I knew God was a fan of Firefox. - lougoose, on 04/12/2008, -1/+29I don't understand that, but it sounds deep.
- Lochie, on 04/12/2008, -2/+26If it was IE.. well, then I guess the Universe isn't standards compilant.
- xenuxenuts, on 04/12/2008, -0/+22but it's as secure as Uranus.
- almightyzam, on 04/12/2008, -1/+22Internet Explorer: a skid mark from satan's underpants
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -1/+22Looks like this is only a temporary phenomenon, maybe it will begin to look even *more* like the firefox in time; this particular snapshot is from 2004-02-08. It's always cool to see the evolution of a cosmological event actually apparent on a human timescale. (does anybody know of a more current view?)

The nebula is V838 Monocerotis and is a supernova remnant. (went nova on 2002-01-10) - Nick22, on 04/12/2008, -4/+24what exactly is the difference between casual and heavy duty internet browsing?
More porn? - luchid, on 04/12/2008, -2/+21All Hail His Noodly Appendage!
- scooterfish, on 04/12/2008, -1/+18That the universe is laughing AT us and not with us.
- jordan314, on 04/12/2008, -2/+18biggest product placement evar
- rhinopig, on 04/12/2008, -2/+17that damn gas cloud is still in alpha... centauri!
- blackjack75, on 04/12/2008, -0/+14There have been reports that IE's logo is the last thing you see just before you are gobbled up by a black hole.
- Jerky1312, on 04/12/2008, -1/+14You can't get better marketing than that.
- DarkGerbil, on 04/12/2008, -8/+21It's a swirl...
Page me when you find a gas cloud shaped like Chuck Norris. - thecheatah, on 04/12/2008, -1/+13What would it mean if it was an IE symbol, or a safari one?
- Jojii, on 04/12/2008, -7/+18The article even says that they photoshopped it to remove some of the gas cloud to make it look like the Firefox logo, I could remove some gas to make it look like the star of david and proclaim that we all really messed up. same thing.
- bluelightnin90, on 04/12/2008, -1/+12Way better than constellations. It actually looks like what it is supposed to.
- searcade, on 04/12/2008, -2/+12Internet explorer looks like saturn
- Sabretou, on 04/12/2008, -2/+11Wait wait, He made pirates before Firefox? How did they find the torrents then?
- n0xin, on 04/12/2008, -0/+9BSGFTW
- ritzcracker, on 04/12/2008, -0/+9This is like the time i found Abe Lincoln in my bag of corn chips.
- lougoose, on 04/12/2008, -1/+9I shouldve known that would get buried.
By casual browsing I meant like my grandma reading email or quickly googling something.
by heavy duty browsing I meant having a reason for all of FF's addons.
I use Firefox, by the way. - terencec, on 04/12/2008, -0/+8that damn gas cloud still in alpha... not even beta yet
- Lutremi, on 04/12/2008, -1/+9Crawling through my fingers like a creep.
The sky was blue to me. - ncdave101, on 04/12/2008, -1/+8It's from Battlestar Galactica. Kara Thrace says it when Helo shows her a picture of a symbol they found on a planet and mentions its similarity to something Kara had painted on the wall of her apartment on Caprica.
Egads, I'm such a geek ... - OrGoN3, on 04/12/2008, -4/+11It took Wired 6 years to write an article about this? This was on Digg when the pictures were found by someone who knew about Firefox. This must be at least the 6th Digg article about this extremely old and redundant news.
- CAPITALLETTERS, on 04/12/2008, -2/+9Did my profanity filter just turn itself on?
- Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -0/+7Dugg for "Ohohoho". Do you by chance have a gold-buttoned waistcoat, cane, and monocle?
- BlueSkyfish, on 04/12/2008, -1/+8No they just rotated it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:V838_Monoceroti ... - steve558, on 04/12/2008, -0/+7And it was good.
- dlsspy, on 04/12/2008, -3/+10I installed a dev build of ABP on my FF beta and it's working fine on the latest. Perhaps you could try that on you gas cloud and let us know how it fares.
- BlueSkyfish, on 04/12/2008, -4/+10None, he's just being retarded.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -0/+6Two years ago, actually.
http://digg.com/general_sciences/Firefox-logo_in_d ... - squeeeze, on 04/12/2008, -0/+6I'd rather have Noscript, for blocking satellites
- TheSnuffster, on 04/12/2008, -0/+5Don't tempt the forces of evil.
- darkphenox, on 04/12/2008, -1/+6better watch BSG.
- rasinhussy, on 04/12/2008, -0/+5And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced.
But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird.
The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire
and thunder upon them. For the beast had been
reborn with its strength renewed, and the
followers of Mammon cowered in horror.
