One of my favorite nebulae ♥♥♥ It looks so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

NGC 6357: Cathedral to Massive Stars via NASA https://ift.tt/31D4Lqn

How massive can a normal star be? Estimates made from distance, brightness and standard solar models had given one star in the open cluster Pismis 24 over 200 times the mass of our Sun, making it one of the most massive stars known. This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the featured image. Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least. Component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making them among the more massive stars currently on record. Toward the bottom of the image, stars are still forming in the associated emission nebula NGC 6357. Appearing perhaps like a Gothic cathedral, energetic stars near the center appear to be breaking out and illuminating a spectacular cocoon.

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! ✨✨✨

The Exploding Galaxy is a starburst galaxy which may have been deformed by M81, another neighboring galaxy. 🌌

Starting in April 2010, the Exploding Galaxy started sending out strange radio signals and scientists to this day don’t understand them yet... 👽👽👽

This is Haley’s Coronet! 👑👑👑

The interaction between the larger spiral galaxy and its dwarf galaxy have created plumes of dust around the duo. The process of the larger galaxy eating the smaller one is actually called galactic cannibalism (spooky)! 👻👻👻

This is the Running Chicken Nebula! 🐤🐤🐤

This nebula’s unique name comes from the shape of its brightest region being similar to a running chicken. In the upper right corner, you can see the bright star Lambda Centauri, which gives this nebula a second name: the Lambda Centauri Nebula! 💫💫💫
