The amazing painting skills and the nice colors make this space art piece really amazing. The tiny details can make me look this piece for hours! The rest of this artist's gallery is as amazing!
What a fitting title! This artwork really reminds me of some sort of intergalactic hourglass, and no pun intended: I could stare at it for hours!

Description

The Engraved Hourglass Nebula (also known as MyCn 18) is a young planetary nebula situated in the southern constellation Musca about 8,000 light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by Annie Jump Cannon and Margaret W. Mayall during their work on an extended Henry Draper Catalogue. At the time [January 18, 1996] it was designated simply as a small faint planetary nebula. Much improved telescopes and imaging techniques allowed the hourglass shape of the nebula to be discovered by Raghvendra Sahai and John Trauger of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on January 18, 1996. It is conjectured that MyCn 18's hourglass shape is produced by the expansion of a fast stellar wind within a slowly expanding cloud which is denser near its equator than its poles.

If they are already chipping away at the hourglass by means of verbal uncouthness, Mic.....what to expect if the hourglass hasn't already cracked, Yahweh??
