Thor’s Helmet
Thor not only has his own day (Thursday), but a helmet in the heavens. Popularly called Thor’s Helmet, NGC 2359 is a hat-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor’s Helmet is about 30 light-years across.

Where?
In the picture, in the middle. I see a tardigrade’s little head.
There’s no way you could see a tardigrade at this scale. They’re very small.
That’s a joke, right?
Not at all, they’re the smallest member of the bear family - really very small indeed.
