This is Ceres! ๐ ๐ ๐
Ceres is the only dwarf planet in our inner solar system and the largest object within the Asteroid Belt. Water vapor is being released from the dwarf planet, resultingย in Ceres losing 6kg of its mass per second through steam! ๐๐๐

This is the Rosette Nebula! ๐น๐น๐น
This is definitely the best image I have taken of this giant molecular cloud! This nebula is a star forming region with hot, blue newborn stars at its center that is shaping this region to form a beautiful flower-like shape. As seen from Earth, this nebula appears almost 5 times larger than the full Moon! โจโจโจ

This is the Trifid Nebula! โจโจโจ
At the center of this nebula is a group of bright newborn stars that are releasing streams of radiation and sculpting the nebulaโs shape. Located next to the famous Lagoon Nebula, the Trifid Nebula is a common target for astrophotographers due to its vibrant colors and high visibility! ๐๐๐

This is the Catโs Paw Nebula! ๐พ๐พ๐พ
This nebula is glowing due to the interactions between its hot stars and large molecules known asย polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This makes it particularly bright in the infrared and a common target for astrophotography in the Milky Way galaxy! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

Although this moon is not pink, the nameย โPink Moonโ is named after the pink phlox flower that appears in the spring during the time of this event. This rare celestial event wonโt happen again for another 8 years so be sure to check it out! โจโจโจ
