Hello Everyone!

Released

This is the Rosette Nebula! 🌹🌹🌹

This is definitely the best image I have taken of this giant molecular cloud! This nebula is a star forming region with hot, blue newborn stars at its center that is shaping this region to form a beautiful flower-like shape. As seen from Earth, this nebula appears almost 5 times larger than the full Moon! ✨✨✨

This is the Prawn Nebula! 🦐🍤🦐🍤🦐🍤

Not only does it have a strange name, but its other nickname is the "False Comet" as it has that comet-like shape. This massive stellar nursery has "O-type" stars, which are young, massive, luminous stars that die quickly due to their brightness and recycle their materials to form new stars in this nebula! 💫💫💫

This is the Lobster Nebula! 🦞🦞🦞

Despite this creative name, there were multiple petitions to change this nebula’s name to the Madokami Nebula (named after a character in the anime Madoka Magica) and the War and Peace Nebula (named after its resemblance to a skull and dove). The core of the nebula is the Pismis-24 cluster containing very massive stars up to 100 solar masses each! ✨✨✨
