Hold the pickles; hold the lettuce. Space is serving up giant hamburgers. NASA's
Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a photograph, released Aug. 1, 2002 of a strange
object that bears an uncanny resemblance to a hamburger. The object, nicknamed Gomez's
Hamburger, is a sun-like star nearing the end of its life. It already has expelled
large amounts of gas and dust and is on its way to becoming a colorful, glowing planetary
nebula. The ingredients for the giant celestial hamburger are dust and light. Thehamburger
buns are light reflecting off dust and the patty is the darkband of dust in the middle.
