This is the Eskimo Nebula! ⛄⛄⛄

This nebula is created by the death of a Sun-like star and its strange 2 layered appearance gives it a lot of creative names such as the Clown-Faced Nebula or the Lion Nebula. Even though it looks like the planetary nebula is smooth, the reality is that it has dense filaments of matter all around it! ✨✨✨

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! 💥💥💥

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 Black Eye Galaxy! 🌌🌌🌌

The disk of this galaxy vigorously produces stars with its rapid inflow of mass into the incredibly active black hole at the center. An inner disk produces this galaxy’s distinct dust lane that gives it its name! 🌃🌃🌃

This is Haley’s Coronet! 👑👑👑

The interaction between the larger spiral galaxy and its dwarf galaxy have created plumes of dust around the duo. The process of the larger galaxy eating the smaller one is actually called galactic cannibalism (spooky)! 👻👻👻

The Silver Coin Galaxy 🌌

My favorite galaxy by far. This starburst spiral galaxy, also known as NGC 253, is undergoing massive star formation and thus is incredibly bright ✨

This is the Lunar Eclipse of May 15th, 2022! 💖💖💖

As the Earth’s shadow covers the Moon, it appears to disappear into darkness. This is just one of 85 lunar eclipses that will occur in the 21st century. If you missed this one, don’t worry! The next total lunar eclipse will occur on November 8th, 2022. 🌑🌛✨
