the celestial manatee

This makes me so happy.

Sadly, a star died. About 20,000 years ago. Luckily, it left a bunch of gas around it called a nebula. This nebula looks like a manatee!

Yes! The majestic sea creature!

Some people seem to think that W50, aka the Manatee Nebula, aka (by me) The Celestial Manatee, is just a fluke. That's not true for multiple reasons.

One: A fluke is a fish. Manatees are mammals.

B: That would imply this shape happened by accident. It did not. It's a sign from the heavens!

The Celestial Manatee is an adorable, peace-bringing creature teaching us to slow down and appreciate life!

Be curious! Try to learn about things! Unless those things are propelled-driven boats. Be less curious about those.

Sleep! Like, half the day! Then don't get TOO crazy moving around. Just graze a little.

The Celestial Manatee wants you to relax. That's why it came to our universe. It used its manatee-sense and found out that people are too busy and that the world is too hectic right now. It had to bring its manatee-based powers to us to save the world from...um...speeds over 5 mph.

Let's just hope there isn't a Celestial Propelled-Driven Boat nebula nearby. That would be bad.

I'm off to man a tea.

Enjoy Everything.
