NGC 2359 Thor’s Helmet

 Its not located in Asgard, and Chris Hemsworth didn’t wear this one in the movies but…

NGC 2359 is an iconic emission nebula in Canis. It is often referred to as Thor’s Helmet given the clouds shape with wing like appendages.

We think Thor would have liked it.

 Imaged in HOO on our CDK 1000, RiDK 700 and RiDK 500 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.
