This is the Orion Nebula! 🤩🤩🤩
It’s the closest star forming region to Earth and even visible without a telescope. In this image alone, there are almost 3000 stars! ✨✨✨
Some people think the Orion Nebula resembles a turkey - its body is the wide circular part and its head is the small circle off of the nebula. Can you see it? I hope you enjoy this stunning image for Thanksgiving! 🦃🦃🦃

✿ these past two days i’ve been organizing and getting things done ! i recreated my “life dashboard” on notion and i’ve been taking some python notes on there as well. i also recently deleted my acnh island after having a breakdown over how horrible it was ( oops lol ) , but i’ve restarted & im having fun playing in the early stages of the game hehe ✿
This is the Gabriela Mistral Nebula! 💫💫💫
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 don’t know why 😂). Millions of years ago, a deposit of gas resulted in a surge of star formation that heats up and radiates this region today! ✨✨✨

This is the Heart Nebula! 💖💖💖
Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate this occasion, here is the beautiful Heart Nebula, an emission nebula with dark dust lanes and glowing red hydrogen gas. The heart shape of the nebula is driven by stellar winds from the hot stars inside, some of which have masses up to 50 times the Sun! 💕💕💕

The Silver Coin Galaxy 🌌
My favorite galaxy by far. This starburst spiral galaxy, also known as NGC 253, is undergoing massive star formation and thus is incredibly bright ✨

Could I request a ditto please? I love that funky little blob
luckily for you, you get multiple blobs!
This is the Lagoon Nebula! 💗💗💗
The beautiful lagoon shaped portion is created from aggressive stellar winds pushing the nebulae’s gas and dust aside. Many of the stars here are young, hot O-type stars that are more than 200,000 times brighter than the Sun! ✨✨✨
