Whooosh is the sound made as this passes over my head and on up into
orbit.


O.K. looks like nobody could guess the answer, so no prizes.
They all have names that link them with celestial violence!

Wolf Rayets are renowned for starting riots in the galaxy... The
Pistol Star in Sagittarius (my star sign!) is a lone celestial
gunslinger, of a 100 thousand million Sun powers!, shooting vast
quantities of 'star stuff' out into space and causing violent
nebulosity... 'Alkaid' is often flashed up on US Defense Department
computer screens as a link to Al Qaeda, even though its going about
its business as a perfectly innocent, normal star!
