SUMMARY
→	The Sagan Research Centre is housed within an asteroid near the emission nebula Thor’s Helmet (NGC 2359).
DESCRIPTION
→	Named after astronomer, author, and science communicator Carl Sagan, the asteroid base is located in a system with one star and two planets, one of them a gas giant with ammonia-based life. ![Gas giant in the background](https://i.imgur.com/uBNYIDp.png) The Sagan Research Centre is not only located in the immediate vicinity of the Thor’s Helmet nebula, it has also a clear view of the Seagull Nebula, some 280 ly away. The base is operated by Thor Biometrics and houses around 2,500 personnel. ![](https://i.imgur.com/21VgwNM.png) Due to the somewhat larger distance to Sol (some 3,600 ly), limited station services and a market that provides only a bare minimum of goods, tourists or travellers are not a common sight at the research centre.
