A happy accident while trying to view the Magellanic Stream (as one does, for science). This is basically the same as the "Hydrogen Sky" video/gif I posted a while back) - neutral hydrogen data overlaid on an optical image. This time I just wanted to view a particular feature, the Magellanic Stream - a huge feature that spans more than half the sky. But by setting the camera's field of view to an absurdly large 180 degrees, I found myself inside Dr Who's time vortex...
The hydrogen sky gif is below, taken from the video here :
Beutiful Rhys Taylor!!
