It’s hardly to believe that the creation of Firefox logo was inspired by space images captured by Hubble Space Telescope but the following pictures could prove that claim.

The picture on the left looks like the variable star V838 Monocerotis near our Milky Way Galaxy.
However, it is found that the original image (below) was modified a bit to look more like Firefox logo. “… it’s been rotated relative to the photo below, and some of the gas cloud may have been edited out around the “tail” of the fox.” said Charlie Sorrel from Wired’s Gadget Lab blog.

Some people said that it was actually a sign from Heaven for everyone to stop using Internet Explorer
. Do you think so?
One Response for "Was Firefox Logo Inspired By Images From Hubble Telescope?"
The reason that one image looks different is because the cloud formation and the light echo is changing over time and that’s an older image.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:V838_Monocerotis_expansion.jpg for all of the images showing the progression.
