This is the Rim Nebula! 💖💖💖

This star forming nebula has been drastically shaped by a nearby open star cluster known as NGC 6193. The rampant star formation was caused to a bunch of supernovae taking place during the last batch of stars - meaning that some of these stars are very young (only a few million years old)! 🌃🌃🌃

This is the Pleiades in culmination! ✨✨✨

Just a few weeks ago, this cluster culminated in the south - meaning that they reached their highest point and appeared its brightest. Thankfully, the telescopes were open briefly for me to take a quick picture! ♥♥♥

Could I request a ditto please? I love that funky little blob

luckily for you, you get multiple blobs!

This is Haley’s Coronet! 👑👑👑

The interaction between the larger spiral galaxy and its dwarf galaxy have created plumes of dust around the duo. The process of the larger galaxy eating the smaller one is actually called galactic cannibalism (spooky)! 👻👻👻

This is the Skull Nebula! 💀💀💀

The glow of this eerie nebula is perfect for Halloween! This planetary nebula has a binary star system with a third star orbiting it. The beautiful colors of this nebula come from the outer layers of a Sun-like star that died in an explosion! 👻👻👻

This is the Crescent Nebula! 🌙🌙🌙

Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, here is a ❤red❤ emission nebula: its color is created by energized hydrogen. This nebula was formed by a young Wolf-Rayet star blowing stellar wind and when the star became a red giant, it energized the wind! 💫💫💫

This is the Cat’s Paw Nebula! 🐾🐾🐾

This nebula is glowing due to the interactions between its hot stars and large molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This makes it particularly bright in the infrared and a common target for astrophotography in the Milky Way galaxy! 🔭🔭🔭

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! 🌃🌃🌃
