This is Sharpless 101! 💕💕💕
This stunning HII emission nebula is also called the Tulip Nebula due to its flower-like shape. This field is close to the Cygnus X-1 quasar, which was one of the first detected black holes! 💞💞💞

This is the Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨
Recent observations by the Hubble Space Telescope reveal the presence of protoplanetary disks, or proplyds, in the Orion Nebula. Newborn stars form in this beautiful nebula when clumps of hydrogen gas condense and become hot enough for stellar fusion! 💥💥💥

This is the Lunar Eclipse of May 15th, 2022! 💖💖💖
As the Earth’s shadow covers the Moon, it appears to disappear into darkness. This is just one of 85 lunar eclipses that will occur in the 21st century. If you missed this one, don’t worry! The next total lunar eclipse will occur on November 8th, 2022. 🌑🌛✨

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)! 👻👻👻

This is the Pelican Nebula! 🦢🦢🦢
The molecular cloud of dark dust on the left of this image separates this nebula from the nearby North America Nebula. This nebula is quickly changing as newborn, hot stars ionize the gas and push it around, leading to its expansion! 💖💖💖
