Colin Stanley Gum was an astronomer best known for discovering 'Gum's Nebula' - the area of nebulosity in Pupis and Vela. In 1959 he was appointed Head of the Observational Optical Astronomy programme at the University of Sydney, but tragically he died in a skiing accident early the following year. Prior to this University appointment, Gum had worked for CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) and at the Mount Stromlo Observatory in the Australian Capital Territory.
