He 2-111 (PK 315-0.1) was discovered by Karl Henize in 1967. Based upon deep plates from the Anglo Australian Telescope, B. Louise Webster in 1978 described a giant halo around this planetary nebula located between the huge binary star, Alpha Centauri(off lower right) and open cluster NGC5617 (off upper left)in the southern constellation of Centaurus. A cropped image is presented above to better show the nebula.

On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped explosives containing C-4 on the roof of a house where members of the black liberation & social justice organization MOVE lived. Right before, police attacked the house with 10,000 rounds of ammunition in 90 minutes, knowing that children were inside. The house burned for 45 minutes before hoses were turned on.
Eleven people, including founder John Africa, five adults & five children were killed. The incident also destroyed 65 homes in the area, leaving 250 homeless. Witnesses reported police officers shooting at those trying to escape from the fire that ensued.
MOVE continues to advocate for prisoners’ rights & for the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal & nine MOVE members who were found guilty of the murder of a police officer in 1978.
