SH2 136: A Spooky Nebula
Because of the different cloud size and dust, the dark SH2 136 nebula looks like some kind of humanesque creature. Starting in the 5th century (B.C.), Halloween was classified and celebrated as a cross-quarter day. This means that the day is 1/2 between an equinox, or day= night, and a solstice, or minimum day = maximum night [N Hemisphere]. Real cross-quarter days include Groundhog Day (February 2nd) and Walpurgis Night (April 30th/May 1st).
I definitely think this nebula looks like suffering Vikings. Lauren Garrison came ^ with the suffering bit, but if you look closely (as I did), it looks like the people are wearing those Viking-like hats you see in operas. An on people named THOR. I want to go to an opera, like, right now. Mr. Percival is playing parts of the Bach Partitas/Sonatas and it's amazing. If anyone cares, though it is unrelated, I'm learning the second Partita, Ciccone & all. OH SNAP.
