That's awesome, nice find! It's rare to see deep space objects appear so dynamic and alive!

It's a CT Scan of the nebula. The Light Echo is expanding.

Wow. There was a series of stills in S&T a few years back. This definitely has a lot more punch.

I was only just reading about this DSO in a magazine the other day, fascinating movie.

Cheers
