This is the Whale Galaxy! 🐳🐳🐳

This galaxy’s strange shape comes from interactions with a smaller dwarf galaxy seen above it. This has resulted in high numbers of supernovae from rapid star formation blow wind and dust out of the galaxy in a “superwind”! ✨✨✨

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! ❤❤❤

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)! 👻👻👻
