One of my favorite nebulae ♥♥♥ It looks so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

NGC 6357: Cathedral to Massive Stars via NASA https://ift.tt/31D4Lqn

How massive can a normal star be? Estimates made from distance, brightness and standard solar models had given one star in the open cluster Pismis 24 over 200 times the mass of our Sun, making it one of the most massive stars known. This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the featured image. Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least. Component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making them among the more massive stars currently on record. Toward the bottom of the image, stars are still forming in the associated emission nebula NGC 6357. Appearing perhaps like a Gothic cathedral, energetic stars near the center appear to be breaking out and illuminating a spectacular cocoon.

This is the Eagle Nebula! 🦅🦅🦅

This young cluster of stars and the distinct Pillars of Creation at the center of the nebula are located in the constellation of Serpens. These stars, which were formed in the HII region of this nebula, are very massive: some of them are up to 1 million solar luminosities! ✨✨✨

✨💫🌠🌟🌌🚀 Thank you all so much for 10,000 FOLLOWERS! ✨💫🌠🌟🌌🚀

To celebrate, here is a collage of some of my best pictures that I have uploaded on this blog ♥ I cannot believe we just hit 10,000 followers WOWOOWWOW

This is the Lagoon Nebula! 💗💗💗

The beautiful lagoon shaped portion is created from aggressive stellar winds pushing the nebulae’s gas and dust aside. Many of the stars here are young, hot O-type stars that are more than 200,000 times brighter than the Sun! ✨✨✨

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)! ✨✨✨
