Astronaut Falls Off Bird—Flails Arms and Legs

Here's the bird and the astronaut without airplane trails

To me, Thor's Helmet looks like an astronaut in a leaky space suit who just fell off the Seagull's back and is being sucked into a black hole or something while flailing his or her arms—which gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "bird droppings."

Incidentally, I think this nebula moderately resembles a cockatoo, but whoever gave it the "Seagull" name needs new glasses or just needs to get out more.

This whole affair reminds me of my favorite ICD9 diagnosis code from my days in healthcare finance:

2012 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code E843.0 - Fall in, on, or from aircraft injuring occupant of spacecraft

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
