Behold: IC 2944, a gaseous region of star formation also known as the ‘Running Chicken Nebula’ or the ‘λ Centauri Nebula’, if you must. To wit:
…the Running Chicken Nebula spans about 100 light years and lies about 6,000 light years away toward the constellation of the Centaur (Centaurus). The featured image, shown in scientifically assigned colours, was captured recently in a 12-hour exposure. The star cluster Collinder 249 is visible embedded in the nebula’s glowing gas. Although difficult to discern here, several dark molecular clouds with distinct shapes can be found inside the nebula.

Behold: the 1986 BMW 325IX – arguably, the coolest of all E30s and the company’s first all wheel drive production car.
Launched in 1985, most were sold in the US and Canada, making European models extremely rare. This five speed manual is possibly the rarest of them all: as new, never registered and with a trifling 509km on the clock, it is effectively just as it was when it left the factory 35 years ago.
Now.
Yours for €55,170.
