This dramatic mushroom cloud, towering 1,000 light-years above the disk of the Milky Way, was recently discovered in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia by a team of Canadian astronomers. Some 12,000 light-years distant, the cloud contains hydrogen atoms expelled from the Milky Ways disk by one or more supernova explosions, possibly aided by intense stellar winds from blue-giant stars. Constrained by the cold, relatively dense gas that pervades the midplane of the galaxy, the expanding supernova bubble was channeled upward and outward, creating a narrow pillar of fast-flowing atoms that culminated in a broad, curling cap once it reached the hot but rarefied galactic halo. The cloud tops a list of recent discoveries from the ongoing Canadian Galactic Plane Survey, a five-year effort to map approximately one-fifth of the Milky Way at wavelengths near the 21centimeter emission line of atomic hydrogen. The survey, conducted at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in British Columbia, will eventually produce a complete, three-dimensional view of gas within a region of the northern Milky Way that stretches from Cygnus to Perseus.
