This is the Statue of Liberty Nebula! 🗽🗽🗽 (I guess to celebrate the inauguration!)

The dramatic shapes of the nebula are created by young, hot stars that were newly formed through this nebula. Most of the star formation takes place in the dark filaments in this region and it is located just a few thousand light years away from the famous Eta Carinae Nebula (also a prolific star forming region)! ✨✨✨

This is Ceres! 🌠🌠🌠

Ceres is the only dwarf planet in our inner solar system and the largest object within the Asteroid Belt. Water vapor is being released from the dwarf planet, resulting in Ceres losing 6kg of its mass per second through steam! 🌊🌊🌊

This is Vega! ✨✨✨

This is the brightest star in the summer constellation Lyra and the 5th brightest star in the night sky. Infrared observations have confirmed a circumstellar disk of dust around this star, similar to the Kuiper Belt around the solar system! 🌃🌃🌃
