Hello Everyone,

I took Pete's idea of doing a closeup and then did some image processing
as shown in the links below.

 From the images it appears to have a less dense area right behind the
head. Like viewing the Ring Nebula where the edges appear more dense
than the middle.

If an object is of sufficient size, shouldn't it produce an open channel
right behind it for a short length?
And, would a jet engine also be able to create this channel? (I don't
have a clue...)

Image 1 - Convert to B/W then Inverted

Image 2 - Emboss of above image

Thanks!

Paul
