This is the Trifid Nebula! 🌺🌺🌺

With an age of around 300,000 years, this nebula is one of the youngest emission nebulae known. Its name comes from the multiple dust lanes across the nebulae that cover a newly born cluster of stars! ✨✨✨

This is the Gabriela Mistral Nebula! 💫💫💫

Gabriela Mistral is a Chilean poet who was the first Latin American author to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. This nebula has her name because some believe that it resembles her (I honestly don’t know why 😂). Millions of years ago, a deposit of gas resulted in a surge of star formation that heats up and radiates this region today! ✨✨✨

This is the Black Eye Galaxy! 🌌🌌🌌

The disk of this galaxy vigorously produces stars with its rapid inflow of mass into the incredibly active black hole at the center. An inner disk produces this galaxy’s distinct dust lane that gives it its name! 🌃🌃🌃

This is the 2021 Pink Supermoon!🌜🌷🌸🌹🌺🌼💐💮

Although this moon is not pink, the name “Pink Moon” is named after the pink phlox flower that appears in the spring during the time of this event. This rare celestial event won’t happen again for another 8 years so be sure to check it out! ✨✨✨
