This is the Gabriela Mistral Nebula! 💫💫💫
Gabriela Mistral is a Chilean poet who was the first Latin American author to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. This nebula has her name because some believe that it resembles her (I honestly don’t know why 😂). Millions of years ago, a deposit of gas resulted in a surge of star formation that heats up and radiates this region today! ✨✨✨

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 Flame Nebula! 🔥🔥🔥
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! ✨✨✨

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! ✨✨✨

the day is so lovely—she’s sunlit and she’s perfect—and i don’t know if it’s the dreamy light or the magic that is monday or the fact that i remembered to drink water for the first time in a week but i’m sitting at my desk absolutely thrilled to be organizing my day and sorting through data and diving into research
