*No longer in scraps... yay!

**Update 1;
-Got rid of the empty space and got the white flowing more into the galaxy... although the multiple layers(two of the tribal and three of the galaxy) only makes the filter I used to get rid of the jpeg-compression-squares all the more noticeable in the galaxy image.

Believe it or not... the image this is combined with, is a part of our own universe... well, even if it does have about five layerings to it.
Thanks to Ca86 for the awesome 1920x1200 resolution version.

You can find the original of the tribal art above, and the galaxy at the NASA Archive here;

"Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, these fantastic, undulating shapes lie within the stellar nursery known as M17, the Omega Nebula, some 5,500 light-years away in the nebula-rich constellation Sagittarius. The lumpy features in the dense cold gas and dust are illuminated by stars off the upper left of the image and may themselves represent sites of future star formation. Colors in the fog of surrounding hotter material indicate M17's chemical make up. The predominately green glow corresponds to abundant hydrogen, with trace sulfur and oxygen atoms contributing red and blue hues. The picture spans about 3 light-years."
