Rho Ophiuchus Complex is one of the closest active star forming region near us at a distance of about 460 light years. The region straddles the constellation of Ophiuchus and Scorpius. The region has variety of nebulae that is rich in its display of colors. Seen in the picture are the following components of the […]
Lagoon & Trifid Nebulae adorn the region of Sagittarius constellation with its glowing and reflecting giant interstellar clouds of star-forming regions. These are very to spot in southern skies on a clear summer evening. Seen in the picture are the following components of the complex: M8 or Lagoon Nebula: The glowing emission nebula (pink clouds) […]
This giant inter-stellar shark, LDN 1235, is a large dark nebula spanning 15 light-years across the skies. The Shark Nebula gets its name from its distinctive shape, often likened to a shark swimming through space. This unique morphology results from the interplay between the dark nebula and the surrounding ionized gas and dust. Regions like […]
A star estimated to be twenty times massive than our sun blew up twenty thousand years ago. It had already created a vast cavity or a bubble in its last few million years before it blew up. As the star was massive, it was fast burning its remaining fuel, and when it could no longer […]
Pelican Nebula is a bright emission nebula, and it is part of Cygnus’s larger nebula region. This is also an active star-forming region. The cosmic clouds brightly reflecting lights are emanating from ionizing gas due to surrounding new-born stars. “The star-formation region associated with the North-America (NGC 7000) and Pelican (IC 5070) Nebulae in Cygnus […]
Bubble Nebula is a very faint (not visual) object in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The bubble is thought to have been formed by ionized gas emissions from a massive O type young star BD+60◦2522. According to this March 2020 paper (Link), the shell is formed by this fast-rotating O type star. This rotation and stellar […]
The Elephant Trunk Nebula (VDB 142) is a region with ionized gas and dust in the larger star-forming complex of IC 1396. The trunk shape is formed by the rims of the clouds being illuminated by hot young stars. The snout is formed by newly born stars blowing the dust cloud away, forming a cavity […]
