lets remember all the information y’all

This is the Dumbbell Nebula! ⏳⏳⏳
Similar to many other planetary nebulae, the Dumbbell Nebula has a pattern of dark and bright knots made of gas and dust. These beautiful, ornate features are formed when stellar winds don’t fully blow away the nebula’s material and they leave a trail behind! 💘💘💘

This is the Trifid Nebula! 💞💞💞
This nebula’s unique name comes from the 3 dark bands of dust that traverse its center. Despite the nebula itself holding many massive stars, it is no longer undergoing star formation because these highly radiative stars have blown a lot of the dust away! 💫💫💫

This is the Skull Nebula! 💀💀💀
The glow of this eerie nebula is perfect for Halloween! This planetary nebula has a binary star system with a third star orbiting it. The beautiful colors of this nebula come from the outer layers of a Sun-like star that died in an explosion! 👻👻👻

✿ these past two days i’ve been organizing and getting things done ! i recreated my “life dashboard” on notion and i’ve been taking some python notes on there as well. i also recently deleted my acnh island after having a breakdown over how horrible it was ( oops lol ) , but i’ve restarted & im having fun playing in the early stages of the game hehe ✿
One of my favorite nebulae ♥♥♥ It looks so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
NGC 6357: Cathedral to Massive Stars via NASA https://ift.tt/31D4Lqn
How massive can a normal star be? Estimates made from distance, brightness and standard solar models had given one star in the open cluster Pismis 24 over 200 times the mass of our Sun, making it one of the most massive stars known. This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the featured image. Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least. Component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making them among the more massive stars currently on record. Toward the bottom of the image, stars are still forming in the associated emission nebula NGC 6357. Appearing perhaps like a Gothic cathedral, energetic stars near the center appear to be breaking out and illuminating a spectacular cocoon.

My favorite nebula ever! I always use this for my profile pictures 😂😂😂
