NGC 2359, Thor's Helmet Nebula, 30 light-years across, and 15,000 light-years distant toward the constellation Canis Major. A rare massive and extremely hot blue giant star seen near the center blows energetic stellar winds with speeds of millions of kilometers per hour. Interactions with a nearby large molecular cloud are thought to have contributed to this nebula's more complex shape and curved bow-shock structures.______ Image

Pic is Mount Diablo, California; it is also the point setting for my snapshot default, because it is one of the most meaningful geographic places in the world.
