Thor's Helmet

Thor not only has his own day (Thursday), but a helmet in the heavens. Popularly called Thor's Helmet, NGC 2359 is a hat-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor's Helmet is about 30 light-years across.

Am I the only one who sees this as a sloth instead of a helmet?

Yes? Ok maybe I'm going crazy

Well, maybe Thor is wearing a sloth for a helmet, fur was popular at the time I imagine.
