[Diaspora] APOD image worth attention

That's a very bright star wandering nearby a dark molecular cloud. They are
moving in different directions. The thing that blew me away about this image
is the curvature of the gas cloud (this is a reflected nebula, so the star
is illuminating the cloud) -- that indentation at the "top" of the cloud is
probably caused by the light pressure from the star on the cloud particles.

Another view out the port screen. But what does it look like from a planet
orbiting that star? Well HUGE for one thing.
