This is the Rosette Nebula! πΉπΉπΉ
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! β¨β¨β¨

This is another photo of the Jupiter Saturn Conjunction! πͺπͺπͺ
The two planets are getting closer each day! I love this picture because you can clearly see Jupiterβs 4 largest moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto) and a nice view of Saturn. This event is very rare - Jupiter and Saturn are the closest since the year 1623! β¨β¨β¨

This is the Flame Nebula! π₯π₯π₯
The vibrant clumps of gas in this nebula are assumed to be proplyds, which are disks of gas around young stars that may form planets. This appears to be common all throughout the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, which not only includes the Flame Nebula but also other famous nebulae like the Horsehead Nebula and the Orion Nebula! β¨β¨β¨

This is the Box Nebula AKA The Little Gem Nebula! π¦ π π¦ π π¦π
Although this planetary nebula may look small, itβs around 4 light years across! The unusual shape may be due to its orientation to usβ¦ πππ

The Exploding GalaxyΒ is a starburst galaxy which may have been deformed by M81, another neighboring galaxy. π
Starting in April 2010, the Exploding Galaxy started sending out strange radio signals and scientists to this day donβt understand them yet... π½π½π½

This is Comet PanSTARRS! π π π
This gif was created throughout the night of July 25th and you can see the potentially interstellar comet in motion.Β
