Description

More words have been dedicated to this object than just about any other, so rather than go on about the Wolf-Rayet star throwing a tantrum, I figure let's just sit back and admire what nature can do when given access to enough hydrogen, time and gravity.

This is another HOO image, processed in APP and exported. As you can probably tell, I am NOT a processor...
