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! 💖💖💖

✿ these past two days i’ve been organizing and getting things done ! i recreated my “life dashboard” on notion and i’ve been taking some python notes on there as well. i also recently deleted my acnh island after having a breakdown over how horrible it was ( oops lol ) , but i’ve restarted & im having fun playing in the early stages of the game hehe ✿

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.
