The cosmic absurdity of using a banana and baby elephant to measure a nebula is peak astronomical humor! Astronomers are notorious for using bizarre reference objects—from washing machines to double-decker buses—to help us comprehend mind-boggling cosmic scales. This nebula (likely the Rosette Nebula) spans about 130 light-years across, which is roughly 765 trillion bananas or 10 quadrillion baby elephants lined up trunk-to-tail. Next time you're presenting at a conference, skip the light-years and parsecs—just convert everything to "elephant units" and watch your colleagues' faces!
