Almost *too* classic, but disks have been studied and experimented with as airfoils, so one can't help but wonder...

My spacey sci-fi piece, "Flying saucers rocketing through purple nebula".

Shapley 1: An Annular Planetary #Nebula

When a star like our Sun exhausts its fuel, it forms a white dwarf and expels its outer layers as a planetary nebula. Shapley 1, shown above, features a distinct ring structure, unrelated to actual planets but named for their telescopic resemblance.

AE Aurigae and the Flaming Star #Nebula

AE Aurigae, a bright O-type star, illuminates the Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) with scattered blue light and glowing hydrogen filaments. Born in Orion Nebula and ejected after close stellar encounters, it drifts away from its sibling star Mu Columbae. This image covers 5 light-years in Auriga.

OK THIS IS KEWL!

Astrophotographer Ron Brecher captured amazing image of "Thor's Helmet" an emission nebula (NGC 2359) in constellation Canis Major shining 15,000 light-years away from Earth.

This Nebula is 30-light years wide with its bubble like form sculpted by the stellar wind blasting out from the colossal Wolf-Rayet star. https://www.space.com/stargazing/astrophotography/astrophotographer-spies-thors-helmet-shining-15-000-light-years-away-in-spectacular-photo

We think of blue as the definitive hue of the sci-fi space future, but warm golds and reds can look just as impressive. I think that as I look back at this piece I made, "Telescope in three horses' heads gold nebula".
