This is the Tarantula Nebula! ๐๐๐
For some reason, this photo really highlighted the red and blue colors of this nebula - making it look a lot more colorful. This huge star-forming region is located in our satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and has hot gas up to a million degrees in temperature that shape this nebula! โจโจโจ

This is the Dumbbell Nebula! โณโณโณ
Similar to many other planetary nebulae, the Dumbbell Nebula has a pattern of dark and bright knots made of gas and dust. These beautiful, ornate features are formed when stellar winds donโt fully blow away the nebulaโs material and they leave a trail behind! ๐๐๐

Mice of the Moon
The moon is made of cheesecake and I will not hear any arguments, these alien rodents prove it.
This is the Box Nebula AKA The Little Gem Nebula! ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ฆ๐
Although this planetary nebula may look small, itโs around 4 light years across! The unusual shape may be due to its orientation to usโฆ ๐๐๐

This is theย Pleiadesย in culmination! โจโจโจ
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! โฅโฅโฅ

This is the Skull Nebula! ๐๐๐
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! ๐ป๐ป๐ป
