In my opinion, the red central region, in the middle of the Blue reflection portion, more strongly resembles a Pelican taking flight than the Pelican nebula.

  • In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
    An observatory-dome decree:
    Where Alf, the sacred poster, ran
    Through URL links measureless to man
    Down to a sunless sea.
