The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars
Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

The Tulip Nebula (SH2-101) is an emission nebula ionized by young energetic stars within. It is close to the black hole Cygnus X-1 which creates a visible bow shock seen at the upper right of the nebula. This was 5 hour exposure on a moonless night, 08/22/25.
