The decision of whether or not to incorporate things like that is up to Burndaddy. We've avoided use of pictures like that in the past for copyright reasons.

Surprise and Terror! I am greeted by the smooth and hostile face of our old enemy, the Hootmans! No... the Huge-glands, no, I remember, the Hunams!

The Orion nebula is acutaly the Pinkish blob half way between the two Red Elipses. Its said to be the tip of Orions sword which hangs from the afor mentioned belt.
Also notice the redish tint of the upper left hand star Betaluguse, it is a Red Giant the size of our entire solar system and scientists expect it to go Super Nova some day (it might actualy have already done that but the light hasent reached us yet). When it dose it should be quite an incredible thing to see as you would equivalent in light output to the full moon and would be visable durring day light.
