This is the Gabriela Mistral Nebula! π«π«π«
Gabriela Mistral is a Chilean poet who was the first Latin American author to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. This nebula has her name because some believe that it resembles her (I honestly donβt know why π). Millions of years ago, a deposit of gas resulted in a surge of star formation that heats up and radiates this region today! β¨β¨β¨
