Thor's helmet in SHO palette

On 04/22/2026 by Mohammed Abdallah | Suez, Egypt

This is Thor's helmet nebula (NGC2359). What you're seeing here is the Interstellar
wind and a presupernova of a Wolf-Rayet star. This is a dying star, and we are seeing it about 12K light-years away. I recreated in hubble's SHO palette and this is the result.
