Description

The mighty god, Thor, accidentally left his cranial protection wandering around the sky near Orion's hunting dog, some 12,000 light years away - careless, yes? The Wolf-Rayet star at center is destined to go nova somewhere between now and billions of years from now, so don't wait up. This is a minimal-data image from a few years ago that I dusted cobwebs off of. Enjoy.
