I can see evidence that the key won't fit. :D

I'm not sure if this is the nebula you referenced, but this is what was at NASA under this name-

ROFL on the close up (which I wouldn't believe if the original pic wasn't on the NASA site). Is the Universe sending something a message!

The close up didn't post. It was the vertical structure on the left.

Hmmm, how strange. The first time I clicked on this, the 2nd image didn't show up, but it's there now! Maybe it took longer to load.
