Nebulae in the Spiral Arms of the Triangulum galaxy

Can we spot nebulae in another galaxy? Yes, with the use of Ha filters we can detect those star forming regions in our neighbour galaxies. The Triangulum galaxy, M33, is located in the northern constellation Triangulum. As seen from Earth it has a really wide angular...

Sharpless-308, the Dolphin Nebula

Not far from Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, this cosmic scape shows the effects of several energetic events blown by the massive Wolf-Rayet star WR 6, located in the Cannis Majoris constellation. Sharpless-308, also known as the Dolphin Nebula, seems to...

The Medulla Nebula Supernova Remnant

The Medulla nebula, also called Abell 85, LBN 576 and CTB-1, is a supernova remnant. CTB-1 is the expanding gas shell that was left when a massive star toward the constellation of Cassiopeia exploded about 10,000 years ago. This deep sky object it’s pretty faint...

The Orion and Running Man nebulae

Probably the most popular deep sky nebula, the Orion Nebula (M42), is a wide HII region where hundreds of new stars are born. This stars nursery is located around 1300 light years from Earth and it’s estimated to be around 24 light years across. Together with...

M78 and Barnard’s Loop

The M78 Nebula or NGC2068 is a reflection nebula that can be found in the Orion constellation. This constellation is well known to have huge HII regions with strong emissions. In this image we can see part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex: the Barnard’S...
