Now That Most Of Us Are At Home, I Thought This Could Be Useful To The Ones Who Aren't that Used To

This is the Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨

There are around 700 newborn stars in this nebula and more are being born each year! This is without a doubt, the most photographed object in the night sky due to its bright and radiant colors. You might even be able to see it without a telescope (in good weather)! 😍😍😍

M16, Eagle Nebula

despite everything, you still love madoka magica  (happy 10th anniversary!!)

This is the Eta Carinae Nebula! ✨✨✨

Due to its eruption in the 1840s, the mass of this stunning nebula has been challenging to measure. The colorful dust also dims the star’s ultraviolet and visible light by reradiating the shorter, more energetic light through longer wavelengths like infrared light! ❤❤❤

The Silver Coin Galaxy 🌌

My favorite galaxy by far. This starburst spiral galaxy, also known as NGC 253, is undergoing massive star formation and thus is incredibly bright ✨

My favorite nebula ever! I always use this for my profile pictures 😂😂😂

This is the Dumbbell Nebula! ⏳⏳⏳

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 don’t fully blow away the nebula’s material and they leave a trail behind! 💘💘💘

One of my favorite nebulae ♥♥♥ It looks so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

NGC 6357: Cathedral to Massive Stars via NASA https://ift.tt/31D4Lqn

How massive can a normal star be? Estimates made from distance, brightness and standard solar models had given one star in the open cluster Pismis 24 over 200 times the mass of our Sun, making it one of the most massive stars known. This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the featured image. Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least. Component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making them among the more massive stars currently on record. Toward the bottom of the image, stars are still forming in the associated emission nebula NGC 6357. Appearing perhaps like a Gothic cathedral, energetic stars near the center appear to be breaking out and illuminating a spectacular cocoon.
