Spooky Space!

A lot of people are afraid to swim in the ocean because they are afraid that something slimy, or squishy will touch them.  Or worse!  A huge shark will take a bite out of their leg!


As humans we tend to be afraid of things we can't see or we see but don't understand...so, what about space...are there spooky things in space?


Look at these spooky pictures from space:









OOOOOOOh!  Did you spot the Witch Head Nebula?  Or the Horse Nebula?  How about the Ghoulish Nebula?  Comment on which pictures you liked the best, and what did YOU see?

When our brains try to make sense of an image and try to understand it, we use memories of what we know or have seen before.  When we can't make sense of something we "feel creepy", or we feel uncomfortable and a little scared.  Once we make sense of the image we feel better.  Look at this image that is driving people nuts on social media:

The question is:  Can you name one familiar thing that you see?  Thousands are going nuts over this picture and have commented that they feel "insane", or "creeped out" or "freaked out".  Some people refuse to look at it because it makes them feel so uncomfortable.

What about you?
