This is the Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨

Recent observations by the Hubble Space Telescope reveal the presence of protoplanetary disks, or proplyds, in the Orion Nebula. Newborn stars form in this beautiful nebula when clumps of hydrogen gas condense and become hot enough for stellar fusion! 💥💥💥

Spatial veils of light

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope combined the capabilities of the telescope’s two cameras to create a never-before-seen view of a star-forming region in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), this combined image reveals previously invisible areas of star birth.

This is the Heart Nebula! 💖💖💖

Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate this occasion, here is the beautiful Heart Nebula, an emission nebula with dark dust lanes and glowing red hydrogen gas. The heart shape of the nebula is driven by stellar winds from the hot stars inside, some of which have masses up to 50 times the Sun! 💕💕💕
