This is the Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨
Recent observations by the Hubble Space Telescope reveal the presence of protoplanetary disks, or proplyds, in the Orion Nebula. Newborn stars form in this beautiful nebula when clumps of hydrogen gas condense and become hot enough for stellar fusion! 💥💥💥

This is the Cat’s Paw Nebula! 🐾🐾🐾
This nebula is glowing due to the interactions between its hot stars and large molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This makes it particularly bright in the infrared and a common target for astrophotography in the Milky Way galaxy! 🔭🔭🔭

This is the Christmas Tree Cluster and Cone Nebula! 🎄🎄🎄
It’s the holiday season! The Christmas Tree Cluster takes up the bulk of this image with its bright, young stars that illuminate the surrounding dust. The Cone Nebula is much smaller and is the protruding cone-shaped item at the mid-bottom leftish of the image with its dark, absorbing gas! ✨✨✨
