This is the Black Eye Galaxy! πππ
The disk of this galaxy vigorously produces stars with its rapid inflow of mass into the incredibly active black hole at the center. An inner disk produces this galaxyβs distinct dust lane that gives it its name! πππ

This is the Rosette Nebula! πΉπΉπΉ
This is definitely the best image I have taken of this giant molecular cloud! This nebula is a star forming region with hot, blue newborn stars at its center that is shaping this region to form a beautiful flower-like shape. As seen from Earth, this nebula appears almost 5 times larger than the full Moon! β¨β¨β¨

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¨

This is the Tarantula Nebula! πππ
For some reason, this photo really highlighted the red and blue colors of this nebula - making it look a lot more colorful. This huge star-forming region is located in our satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and has hot gas up to a million degrees in temperature that shape this nebula! β¨β¨β¨

This is the Lagoon Nebula! πππ
The beautiful lagoon shaped portion is created from aggressive stellar winds pushing the nebulaeβs 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! β¨β¨β¨
