Meme: My Desktop

[athelind]

From a significant fraction of my f-list, including the_gneech, pyat, and leonard_arlotte:

• If you like, post this meme and your current wallpaper.
  
• Explain in no more than five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
  
• Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

This is an image from NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day site, which I read every evening.

I regret to say that I can't remember just what this image is. I know that it's a false-color image of... something. I do remember that I chose it because a) it's wide enough to extend across two wide-screen monitors (which I am not currently using), and b) because it's orange and purple, and vaguely, sinuously dragon-like in the way that clouds and fractals can be.

(If anyone recognizes this image, or has better search-fu on APOD than Your Obedient Serpent, please let me know and put a link to the appropriate APOD page in the comments!)
