“Thor's Helmet” is copyrighted by Star Shadows Remote Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThor's Helmet is a cosmic cloud about 30 light-years across, shaped by a powerful star at its center. This Wolf-Rayet star, a massive and hot giant, is blowing a fast wind that carves out the surrounding molecular cloud. The helmet is essentially a giant interstellar bubble, a fleeting phase before the star likely explodes as a supernova.
