See links below to the actual NASA space images.  Also scroll down to see nebulas explained. Heartfelt thanks to all those who work on the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (apod) site. Your images inspire my artwork. 

               Descriptions followed by links to the NASA images that inspired them.

1. Saturn   http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap980118.html

2. Horse Head Nebula   http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap050321.html

3. Eagle Nebula   http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap020611.html I worked from the expanded image of this nebula in the huge book "Cosmos" by Dave Sobel + Giles Sparrow.  The NSAS image is in reverse from the book image I used for inspiration. If you look at this NASA image upside down a face seems to be on the right, as I defined further here.  The book image shows these billows of cloudlike "stardust" as shown here.  I just defined the face more in the painting.

4. Moon   http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110320.html
