You'd think with a name like Galaxy Porcelain Jasper (Nevada) this slice of rock would be a certainty for deep space images. The naked eye can see pale blobs on a darker, slightly messy background, and to me it looks a bit like a monochromatic deep field Hubble image full of clusters of galaxies. But nothing is certain until the microscope is switched on, and I confess it took several views before I warmed to this one. I'd say part of the problem was that I've been working with such vivid colours these seemed a little flat. But I persevered until it began to give up its secrets, and I'm sure space fans will enjoy this set.

Here's a closer look at one of them. There's a spoked wheel shape in the top right corner that just might be a fossil of some sort:

Or a *very* big space beastie :-)

I also have a tendency to find eyes. Here's one eye gazing upon infinity:

Hmmm. That would make it an *extremely* big space beastie.

These eyes are just damn spooky:

...or maybe it's just me.
