This is Vega! ✨✨✨
This is the brightest star in the summer constellation Lyra and the 5th brightest star in the night sky. Infrared observations have confirmed a circumstellar disk of dust around this star, similar to the Kuiper Belt around the solar system! 🌃🌃🌃

This is the Pleiades in culmination! ✨✨✨
Just a few weeks ago, this cluster culminated in the south - meaning that they reached their highest point and appeared its brightest. Thankfully, the telescopes were open briefly for me to take a quick picture! ♥♥♥

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 Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨
There are around 700 newborn stars in this nebula and more are being born each year! This is without a doubt, the most photographed object in the night sky due to its bright and radiant colors. You might even be able to see it without a telescope (in good weather)! 😍😍😍

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! 🦃🦃🦃
