#NewImage from #Nasa: "The Dark Seahorse of Cepheus" Spanning light-years, this suggestive shape known as the Seahorse Nebula floats in silhouette against a rich, luminous background of stars. Seen toward the royal northern constellation of Cepheus, the dusty, dark nebula is part of a Milky Way molecular cloud some 1,200 light-years distant. It is also listed as Barnard 150 (B150), one of 182 dark markings of the sky cataloged in the early 20th century by astronomer E. E. Barnard. Packs of low mass stars are forming within, but their collapsing cores are only visible at long infrared wavelengths. Still, the colorful Milky Way stars of Cepheus add to this stunning galactic skyscape. [September 19, 2024] https://apod.nasa.gov/image/2409/LDN1082_px1024.jpg

#NewImage from #Nasa: "" New stars are born from the remnants of deadstars. The gaseous remnant of the gravitational collapse and subsequent death of a very massive star in our Milky Way created the G296.5 10.0supernova remnant, of which the featured Mermaid Nebula is part. Also known as the Betta Fish Nebula, the Mermaid Nebula makes up part of an unusual subclass of supernova remnants that are two-sided and nearly circular. Originally discovered in X-rays, the filamentary nebula is a frequently studied source also in radio and gamma-ray light. The blue color visible here originates from doubly ionized oxygen (OIII), while the deep red is emitted by hydrogen gas. The nebula's mermaid-like shape has proven to be useful for measurements of the interstellar magnetic field. [September 18, 2024] https://apod.nasa.gov/image/2409/Mermaid_Corke_1080.jpg
