In reply to Helix Nebula Produces Cosmic Fireworks Display
Ok, this is weird. I went to the Seattle fireworks show (where I had kick ass seats thanks to friends with a houseboat) and there were a couple types of fireworks I'd never seen before. The first were slow moving ones that looked like ghosts/Daleks and the other were these fireworks that just covered the sky in these morphing gold sparkles that I thought looked exactly like some crazy space thing from a movie (Trek or The Fountain)... and now I see this.

Mind... Blown.
