This is the Tarantula Nebula! 🌈🌈🌈

For some reason, this photo really highlighted the red and blue colors of this nebula - making it look a lot more colorful. This huge star-forming region is located in our satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and has hot gas up to a million degrees in temperature that shape this nebula! ✨✨✨

It’s reptile hours

This is the Eagle Nebula! 🦅🦅🦅

This young cluster of stars and the distinct Pillars of Creation at the center of the nebula are located in the constellation of Serpens. These stars, which were formed in the HII region of this nebula, are very massive: some of them are up to 1 million solar luminosities! ✨✨✨

This is the Prawn Nebula! 🦐🍤🦐🍤🦐🍤

Not only does it have a strange name, but its other nickname is the "False Comet" as it has that comet-like shape. This massive stellar nursery has "O-type" stars, which are young, massive, luminous stars that die quickly due to their brightness and recycle their materials to form new stars in this nebula! 💫💫💫

This is Sharpless 101! 💕💕💕

This stunning HII emission nebula is also called the Tulip Nebula due to its flower-like shape. This field is close to the Cygnus X-1 quasar, which was one of the first detected black holes! 💞💞💞

This is the Trifid Nebula! 🌺🌺🌺

With an age of around 300,000 years, this nebula is one of the youngest emission nebulae known. Its name comes from the multiple dust lanes across the nebulae that cover a newly born cluster of stars! ✨✨✨
