This is the Silver Coin Galaxy! 💸💸💸

This is one of the brightest and dustiest galaxies known to Earth. With so much dust, star formation is aggressive in this galaxy and thus, it is classified as a starbust galaxy! ✨✨✨

Many scientists think that the star formation may have also been caused by the Silver Coin Galaxy’s collision with a dwarf galaxy billions of years ago! 🌌🌌🌌

This is the Prawn Nebula! 🦐🍤🦐🍤🦐🍤

Not only does it have a strange name, but its other nickname is the "False Comet" as it has that comet-like shape. This massive stellar nursery has "O-type" stars, which are young, massive, luminous stars that die quickly due to their brightness and recycle their materials to form new stars in this nebula! 💫💫💫

This is Sharpless 101! 💕💕💕

This stunning HII emission nebula is also called the Tulip Nebula due to its flower-like shape. This field is close to the Cygnus X-1 quasar, which was one of the first detected black holes! 💞💞💞

This is the Whale Galaxy! 🐳🐳🐳

This galaxy’s strange shape comes from interactions with a smaller dwarf galaxy seen above it. This has resulted in high numbers of supernovae from rapid star formation blow wind and dust out of the galaxy in a “superwind”! ✨✨✨
