Pacman Nebula - ⍺Cas
I've heard of the Pacman Nebula for a long time and it's not too hard to see the shape that earned its name. I've always zoomed in trying to catch as much detail in the nebula as possible. But this time I zoomed out and notice that there was more to the Pacman identity than just the shape. Viewed from the right angle it appeaAptera that the nebula is rushing ahead to gobble up ⍺Cas. Video game at an astronomical level!
