Galaxies that Resemble the Letter "I"

Object ID # : 587741821065101540

       The Replica Report goes galactic this week looking at 4 galaxies whose shapes Resemble the letter 'I'. A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system consisting of stars, stellar remnants, and a interstellar medium of gas and dust, and, it is hypothesized, an important but poorly understood component called dark matter. Examples of galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million stars to giants with a hundred trillion stars, each orbiting their galaxy's own center of mass.
       Galaxies contain varying numbers of star systems, star clusters and types of interstellar clouds. In between these objects is a sparse interstellar medium of gas, dust, and cosmic rays. Observational data suggests that super massive black holes may exist at the center of many, if not all, galaxies. They are thought to be the primary driver of active galactic nuclei found at the core of some galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy appears to harbor at least one such object.
       Galaxies have been historically categorized according to their apparent shape; usually referred to as their visual morphology. A common form is the elliptical galaxy, which has an ellipse-shaped light profile. Spiral galaxies are disk-shaped with dusty, curving arms. Those with irregular or unusual shapes are known as irregular galaxies and typically originate from disruption by the gravitational pull of neighboring galaxies and are what make the alphabet series possible. Such interactions between nearby galaxies, which may ultimately result in a merging, sometimes induce significantly increased incidents of star formation leading to starburst galaxies. Smaller galaxies lacking a coherent structure are referred to as irregular galaxies.

Trump's Toupee Found in a Forest?

Flannel Moth

Megalopyge opercularis would have been covered by the Replica Report, even without its recent meme status, considering some of its common names such as southern flannel moth, pussy moth, puss caterpillar, and tree asp.  It is in its larval form that the Resemblance to a pussy cat becomes apparent whereas the flannel reference (flannel is a soft woven fabric, of various fineness) points to its adult stage (even the wings are furry).  But this week, the insect is getting news coverage because of social media hype where many Extractionists have Recognized its Resemblance to Donald Trump's hair!

The creature was spotted in the Amazon by friends Jeff Cremer, 34 and Phil Torres, 27, who run photography tours from Posada Amazonas, a 30 bed rainforest lodge in Peru.

Mr. Cremer said, "It's actually a flannel moth caterpillar, they're really rare, I've seen this type of caterpillar before but never one of this colour."
"We put the picture on our Twitter and Facebook page and immediately people started comparing it to Donald Trump."
Cremer continues, "We didn't see the resemblance when we first saw the caterpillar but looking at the photo it's certainly similar to his hair."
"It was pretty funny, people went mad for the photo comparing it to his toupee."

The caterpillar’s “hair” actually consists of setae, which are long, fine silky appendages that, in this case, can cause serious skin irritations. If one attempts to pet this insect, they will get a handful of venom, released when the setae poke into skin. Just as a bee sting, the injuries can be painful but, for most, not life threatening.

Angels Hovering Near the Sun

     Benjamin Creme, a British artist and long-time student of esoteric philosophy, has become the latest Extractionist to be covered by news agencies across the Nation.

     In recent months, two photographs were recorded by NASA cameras of an anomaly near the sun. Mr. Creme has Recognized that these anomalies Resemble angels.

     Benjamin Creme, co-editor of Share International magazine, says that while many people thought the images were UFOs, "our information is that it is an 'angel', or 'deva' as they are known in the East. The angelic or deva evolution runs parallel to that of the human and they can vary in size from tiny to colossal. This 'angel' was filmed moving near the sun and both photographs are of the same 'angel'. Our information is that it is gigantic: about half the size of the Earth."

     Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1922, Benjamin Creme began studying art at an early age, developing into an accomplished painter in the modernist style.  He befriended and collaborated with many of the leading figures of the time in British art, music and literature. His paintings have been exhibited in a number of prestigious galleries.

     Here at the Replica Report, we tend to Recognize a Resemblance to a kind of Santa Fe graphic depiction of a bird in the anomalies - meaning we all agree on the Resemblance to wings!

Church's Chicken

     We've all heard of church's chicken but this takes the cake! A congregation in Florida isn't happy about pictures of its chapel making the Internet rounds this week for an unholy reason: the building looks like a chicken.
      The "Chicken Church" -- also known as Church by the Sea in Madeira Beach -- went viral when a photographer noticed that, from just the right angle, the structure's round windows look like eyes and its roofing tiles resemble wings and a beak. Tourists, reportedly by the hundreds, now line up to take pictures of the visage.
      Dee Dee Parker, a longtime member of the church, told the Daily Mail that the Resemblance is "funny" and she welcomes the newfound popularity. But church employees interviewed by The Huffington Post disagree.
"We're not fond of it being called the 'Chicken Church,'" an employee, who asked not to be named, told HuffPost Weird News. "It's attracting people to us for all the wrong reasons. I don't think they're attracted to come in and worship, I think they're making fun of it."
She said that chapel, built in 1944, was not designed to look like a baby chicken.

     Here is the google map link if you want to see the chicken for yourself:

Bird of Paradise or Crane Flower? Strelitzia

A common name of the genus Strelitzia is bird of paradise flower, because of a supposed resemblance of its flowers to the bird of paradise but we must admit this one's a stretch so we'll go with what in South Africa is commonly known as a crane flower! What do you think? Crane? Or Bird of Paradise?  A third option could be that 'paradise' is fictional so that it is a 'bird' of a fictional place.
      Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa. It belongs to the plant family Strelitziaceae. The genus is named after the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, birthplace of Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom.
      The species S. nicolai is the largest in the genus, reaching 10 m tall, with stately white and blue flowers; the other species typically reach 2 to 3.5 m tall, except S. caudata which is a tree of a typically smaller size than S. nicolai. The leaves are large, 30–200 cm long and 10–80 cm broad, similar to a banana leaf in appearance but with a longer petiole, and arranged strictly in two ranks to form a fan-like crown of evergreen foliage. The flowers are produced in a horizontal inflorescence emerging from a stout spathe. They are pollinated by sunbirds, which use the spathe as a perch when visiting the flowers; the weight of the bird on the spathe opens it to release the pollen onto the bird's feet, which is then deposited on the next flower it visits.

The Aurora Alien

News agencies the World over reported a couple of months ago on an Alien face appearing in the Aurora Lights!
Landscape photographer Iurie Belegurschi captured the image in the Reykjanes peninsula of Iceland.
It was a clear night on September 8, Belegurschi stayed up all night and waited to watch the aurora Northern Lights dance in the sky.
He said: "I didn't see the alien face during shooting, but when I came home I checked my photographs on the computer and I saw it! It's unbelievable, I couldn't believe my eyes."
"I can't describe with words what I feel when I see the Northern lights, but in my opinion it is the most amazing phenomenon we can witness.
"I wish everybody could see it at least once in their life."
Self-taught Iurie moved to Iceland in 2006 to follow his passion, the Northern Lights. He is now waiting for the solar max in 2013-2014 to capture more aurora activity.
