A calm, open body of water fills most of the frame under overcast daylight. In the center of the image, a sleek, narrow, bright red rowing shell (a four-person sweep boat) glides smoothly across the water. The boat is viewed from behind and slightly above.Four rowers sit in a single-file line facing backward toward the stern. Each rower holds two oars that extends out to the side of the boat; the white blades of the oars are just entering or leaving the water in mid-stroke, creating small splashes and ripples. There is no coxswain visible, suggesting this is a coxless four. The water around the boat is grayish-blue and gently rippled, with no land, other boats, or horizon visible in the frame.

Starless image of “God’s Hand” (the stars were extracted using the program Starnet). Only the smoky, hazy shapes of the luminous gas clouds, as well as the glow of the distant spiral galaxy, appear against the darkness. The effect is painterly and surreal.

Image of the star-forming region CG 4 (“God’s Hand”) — 1,300 light years away — which appears as a hand on an outstretched arm (or perhaps an open-mouthed creature with a long neck) extending from a luminous gas cloud in hues of pink and purple, in a field of hazy gases and multicolored stars. The “hand” or “mouth” appears to reach out to seize or devour a small spiral galaxy — ESO 257-19, which in reality is over 100 million light years further away.
