Ever dreamed of holding a nebula in your hands? Thanks to Nasa, this may now be a reality as the first high-resolution three-dimensional model of the expanding cloud produced by a massive star's eruption is now available to all. For this you need to download the plans that Nasa has made publicly available, feed them into your 3D-printing software, and play god by watching your very own Homunculus Nebula, a shell of gas and dust ejected during the star's mid-19th century eruption, form before your eyes.
