Step into the heart of a stellar storm. Thor’s Helmet Nebula (NGC 2359), an emission nebula nestled in the constellation Canis Major, lies nearly 12,000 light-years from Earth. Spanning roughly 30 light-years across, this galactic spectacle is sculpted by the fierce stellar winds of WR 7, a rare Wolf-Rayet star known for its raw, explosive power.
 
Its form—an ethereal crown of glowing gas and luminous arcs—bears an uncanny resemblance to the Norse god Thor’s battle helmet. Here, myth meets astrophysics, and chaos transforms into artistry.

Now, imagine this celestial drama unfolding in 3D—right before your eyes.
The piece features a 36" x 36" high-resolution lenticular hologram (25 LPI) that captures the nebula’s intricate filamentary tendrils and radiant colors with stunning depth. As you move around it, the light shifts and flows, evoking the feeling of peering through a window into deep space.
 
The artwork is framed in a custom, native 3” Oregon dark walnut surround, hand-carved with Elder Futhark runes and stained by Isaiah M. of Set in Stone OR LLC. The rich, organic texture grounds the cosmic vision in earthly craftsmanship—transforming the display into a portal rather than a print. One gallery guest perfectly summed it up: “This is not a print—it’s an experience.”
 
More than wall art, this holographic piece invites wonder, sparks conversation, and anchors any space in the awe of the infinite. Whether you’re a collector, a dreamer, or a stargazer, this one-of-a-kind creation brings the cosmos a little closer.
 
The piece will be delivered signed with a Certificate of Authenticity.
