The Trifida Nebula (also known as Messier 20 and NGC 6514) is an H II region in the constellation Sagittarius. It was first catalogued in 1764 by the French astronomer Charles Messier. The name “Trifid”, coined by astronomer John Herschel, Continue Reading
NGC 2244 (also known as Caldwell 50) is an open cluster in the Rosette Nebula, located in the constellation Unicorn. This cluster has several stars of the spectral type O, super hot stars that generate large amounts of radiation and Continue Reading
The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is a spiral galaxy 25 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain on March 27, 1781, who subsequently communicated his discovery to Continue Reading
The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Spiral Galaxy M31, Messier 31 or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy with a diameter of two hundred and twenty thousand light years (as far as its galactic halo is concerned) and about one Continue Reading
The Ring Nebula (also known as the Lyra Annular Nebula, Planetary Nebula M57, Messier 57, M57 or NGC 6720) is a prototypical planetary nebula located in the constellation Lyra. It is one of the best known nebulae frequently used as Continue Reading
The Veil Nebula is a cloud of hot, ionized gas. It is the visible part of the Cygnus Loop, also known as the W78 radio source, or Sharpless 103. It is a very extensive nebula and is usually divided into Continue Reading
NGC 2359 is an emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major located just over 8 degrees from Sirius (α Canis Majoris). Its unusual shape, similar to the helmet of a Viking warrior, has led to it being also known as Continue Reading
NGC 7635 is an emission nebula, an H II region, in the constellation Cassiopeia, near the open cluster M52. It has originated from the stellar wind of the central star SAO 20575 (BD+60 2522), of apparent magnitude 8.7. Due to Continue Reading
To some, this nebula looks like the head of a fish. But this photograph actually shows the bright gas and clouds of darkened dust from IC 1795, a star-forming region in the northern constellation Cassiopeia. The nebula’s colors were created Continue Reading
NGC 281 is a busy star formation workshop. Its main features include a small open cluster of stars, a diffuse emission nebula with red glow, large trails of dark dust and gas, as well as dense clumps of gas and Continue Reading
