An object in the image has two lobes connected by a narrow, curved "neck," giving it a duck-like appearance. The object’s surface is rough and textured, with a mix of craters, rocky protrusions, and uneven, rugged terrain. Bright streams of material radiate outward from the surface, creating a soft, fan-like glow around the object. In contrast to the bright object, the image background is black.

The image depicts the interior of an observatory dome with a large opening through which daylight is visible. The dome structure consists of curved metallic panels that meet at the top, with one panel slightly open on the left side, revealing a cross-braced metal framework. In the foreground, a person stands on a ladder inside the dome, wearing a casual T-shirt with a prominent logo. The person is looking upward toward the opening, partially illuminated by the ambient light. Behind them is an array of mechanical equipment, possibly part of the dome’s operation system. The overall color scheme is composed of metallic grays and earth tones from the dome's surfaces.
