What:
"The Boomerang is a cloud of dust and gas being spewed out from an old star while its core collapses inward and becomes a white dwarf, a star which has used up its nuclear fuel," according to Sahai, who co-discovered the cold region. "The Boomerang Nebula is like a cosmic refrigerator, in which expanding gas cools very efficiently down to the very chilly temperatures we have found."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
