The Very Large Telescope Captured These Images Of The NGC 1055...

The Rosette Nebula and star cluster (NGC 2244) in the constellation of Monoceros captured from my backyard. This is a star forming region that is 5000 light years away and measures 130 light years across. The star cluster is made of young stars that were formed in the nebula, and contains a total of 2500 stars. There is a lot of incredible detail in this nebula. The stars have been animated to give a sense of motion. #deepsky #astroshots #astrophotography #astrophoto #astronomy #rosettenebula #s

NGC 2264 • Sprightly Stars Illuminate 'Christmas Tree Cluster' • This composite image shows the Christmas Tree Cluster. The blue and white lights (which blink in the animated version of this image) are young stars that give off X-rays detected by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. Optical data from the National Science Foundation’s WIYN 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak shows gas in the nebula in green, corresponding to the “pine needles” of the tree, and infrared data from the Two Micron All Sky

Welcome to the beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 2336, as seen by Hubble! Stretching across 200,000 light-years, this galaxy is tucked away in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis. NGC 2336 has spiral arms glittering with bright, blue, and young stars. The reddish center of the galaxy shows an area dominated by older stars. NGC 2336 resides about 100 million light-years away from Earth. Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, V. Antoniou; Acknowledgment: Judy Schmidt Music credit: "Simple Pleasures"
