Well, it IS a variable star…dunno if that has to do with anything. I’m terrible at all this astronomy stuff.

Simple.

IE comes from Microsoft.

There, riddle solved.

I have to disagree factman, a search for v838 Monocerotis on Microsoft Research’s WorldWide Telescope turns up a number of images of this star – some of them look quite different, for example, the one from 20 May, 2002 looks like a fried egg with a gleaming red yolk, and the one from 9 September, 2006 shows very little similarity.

However, the picture taken on 8 February of 2004 looks like a match for the above image in every particular I have checked.

I doubt it. The TLL should be the other way around. It does resemble, though.

Thought you should all know that this is FAKE. It’s edited to look like it, in fact it doesn’t look anything like that at all.

How else can you explain FF’s superiority to something like IE?

Well, at least now we know the aliens are civilised….. they use Firefox

Wait….. What if Firefox actually COMES from Outer Space, and we’re all using an extraterrestrial operating system?….. Groovy.

Know what?¿ I dig this one the most. I’m not looking at lame pictures of famous people reading about how A picced in B’s cheerios. That’s a badass picture, even if it’s photoshopped )Although I’ve never heard anything to that effect, just kinda…(.

p.s. That fox looks sataniac, and it’s eating the planet. Sounds like the internet.

I don’t think we can just say the star looks like it, it would be that whole nebula thingy. If I recall, something happened before on here where the name of something in a nebula was mistakenly attributed to the whole thing.

i’ve seen this before and i thought the firefox logo was based on it. Maybe it is a coincidence.
