This is the Heart Nebula! ๐๐๐
Happy Valentineโs Day! To celebrate this occasion, here is the beautiful Heart Nebula, an emission nebula with dark dust lanes and glowing red hydrogen gas.ย The heart shape of the nebula is driven by stellar winds from the hot stars inside, some of which have masses up to 50 times the Sun! ๐๐๐

This is the Orion Nebula! โจโจโจ
Thought to be a cosmic fire of creation by the Mayans, the Orion Nebulaโs bright, vibrant colors come from the massive stars in the open star cluster at the center of the nebula. This star forming region is giving birth to thousands of stars, each of them only a few million years old! ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ

๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฒ, 8 ๐๐๐ โข The fact that it's the last monthly spread of this year seems so unreal..I did this constellation kind of theme because outer space have a special place in my heart and this is my birth month so why not! also let's say goodbye to this unfortunate year and wish that the new moon of 2021 will bring new lights!โจ

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.

Join us for a special Star Party Live on Sunday, November 29th at 12:00 pm EST!ย
The Slooh Ambassadors (which includes me) have been working on this Women are From Venusย star party that hopes to encourage women to participate in astronomy!
I will be presenting my research during the event so please consider joining! There will also be other talks made by other Slooh women who are passionate about space.ย
All you need to do is to make a free account at Slooh.com and then watch the star party on the website! Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope you can attend ๐๐๐
This is the Skull Nebula! ๐๐๐
The glow of this eerie nebula is perfect for Halloween! This planetary nebula has a binary star system with a third star orbiting it. The beautiful colors of this nebula come from the outer layers of a Sun-like star that died in an explosion! ๐ป๐ป๐ป

Hello everyone!ย A few months ago, I released Project DeLightย -ย an initiative against light pollution in our community.
I just made an instagram for this project so please follow us for updates! โจโจโจ

Day 2(7)/30 of #30dol
I canโt choose between Noteshelf and OneNote, theyโre both great but Iโm very indecisive on which Iโll be permanently using. Anyways, today was a slow day so I studied less. Btw some time next week or this week, iโll be posting my shopee haul ! See you <3ย
