This is the Orion Nebula! 🤩🤩🤩

It’s the closest star forming region to Earth and even visible without a telescope. In this image alone, there are almost 3000 stars! ✨✨✨

Some people think the Orion Nebula resembles a turkey - its body is the wide circular part and its head is the small circle off of the nebula. Can you see it? I hope you enjoy this stunning image for Thanksgiving! 🦃🦃🦃

This is the Trifid Nebula! ✨✨✨

At the center of this nebula is a group of bright newborn stars that are releasing streams of radiation and sculpting the nebula’s shape. Located next to the famous Lagoon Nebula, the Trifid Nebula is a common target for astrophotographers due to its vibrant colors and high visibility! 💖💖💖

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! ✨✨✨

now that most of us are at home, i thought this could be useful to the ones who aren't that used to learning material on their own and aren’t sure where to start, or which order of steps to follow. happy studying! 💗

This is the Running Chicken Nebula! 🐤🐤🐤

This nebula’s unique name comes from the shape of its brightest region being similar to a running chicken. In the upper right corner, you can see the bright star Lambda Centauri, which gives this nebula a second name: the Lambda Centauri Nebula! 💫💫💫

This is the Whale Galaxy! 🐳🐳🐳

This galaxy’s strange shape comes from interactions with a smaller dwarf galaxy seen above it. This has resulted in high numbers of supernovae from rapid star formation blow wind and dust out of the galaxy in a “superwind”! ✨✨✨
