Say hello to Cone Nebula 👋 This magnificent entity (not the Crystalline one 🖖) is seven light years long and the product of newly created stars letting off wind after their Christmas brussels (science FACT). Picture from @esoastronomy on account of their 60 year anniversary. Thank you @shaman for the original share. #ConeNebula #ESO #VLT #Astrodon #AstroChatter #astrophotogrphy
