A animated cacophony of musical anecdotes animated by Miloš Tomic inspired by a conversation overheard on a bus where a young musician admitted facing her cello into traffic when crossing the road, in the hope that, if she was hit, the instrument would be smashed up first.
Behold: the emission nebula NGC 2359 – a whopping winged lid (if that’s what you see) almost 30 light years across. To wit:
In fact, the helmet is more like an interstellar bubble, blown as a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble’s centre inflates a region within the surrounding molecular cloud. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution. NGC 2359 is located about 15,000 light-years away in the constellation of the Great Overdog. The remarkably sharp image is a mixed cocktail of data from broadband and narrowband filters using three different telescopes. It captures natural looking stars and the details of the nebula’s filamentary structures. The predominant bluish hue is strong emission from doubly ionized oxygen atoms in the glowing gas.
