They called him Æthelred the Unready, but he tried his best. The medieval English king, constantly besieged by Viking marauders, attempted to fight, attempted to bribe, and finally called on God, minting special Lamb of God coins. Here's how that went ...

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.
In fact, the cosmic head-covering is more like an interstellar bubble, blown by a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble's center. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution.
NGC 2359 is located about 15,000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Great Overdog. This sharp image is a combination of deep images taken in light emitted by hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue).
The star in the center of Thor's Helmet is expected to explode in a spectacular supernova sometime within the next few thousand years.

Have you seen Jupiter & Venus shining in the west after sunset? On June 9th, they'll be very close together in a planetary conjunction—when two planets appear near each other in the sky (even though they're still millions of miles apart in space).
