The Tadpole Nebula (IC 410) is a vibrant emission nebula located about 12,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Auriga. It spans around 100 light-years and is shaped by stellar winds from the young open star cluster NGC 1893 within it. Two striking "tadpole"-shaped gas and dust structures stretch outward, formed by radiation and winds sculpting denser regions of the nebula. IC 410 is a
The Jellyfish Nebula (Sh2-248), located about 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Gemini, is the glowing remnant of a supernova. Its distinctive, tentacle-like filaments of ionized gas stretch from the brighter "head," giving it a jellyfish appearance. This massive shell of expanding gas is energized by the pulsar left behind, marking the violent death of a massive star.
The Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) is an emission and reflection nebula located about 1,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Auriga. It glows with a fiery red hue due to ionized hydrogen gas energized by the hot, blue star AE Aurigae. Dust in the nebula also reflects starlight, creating a striking mix of red and blue. This dynamic region is a site of active star formation and complex in
The Lobster Nebula (NGC 6357), about 5,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius, is a vast star-forming region rich in glowing gas and dust. Home to massive young stars, including the open cluster Pismis 24, its intricate structure is shaped by intense stellar winds and radiation, creating bright filaments, dark lanes, and glowing cavities.
The Orion Nebula (M42) is one of the brightest and most well-known star-forming regions in the night sky, visible to the naked eye in the constellation Orion. Located approximately 1,344 light-years away, it spans about 24 light-years across. M42 is part of the larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, a vast region of gas and dust that serves as a stellar nursery.
This nebula is an H II region, mean
The Bubble Nebula, or NGC 7635, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia, located about 7,100 light-years away. Shaped like a bubble, it’s formed by a massive young star’s stellar winds pushing gas and dust outward. The nebula glows due to ionized gas energized by radiation from the central star. Its diameter spans roughly 7 light-years, and it showcases a mix of bright, colorful gase
