GS-NDG-9422 is a nebular dominated galaxy in the constellation Fornax that was discovered by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Scientists assume that the galaxy's light comes mostly from superheated gas (more than 80 000 degrees Celsius).
It is also known as the Lobster Nebula. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] This nebula was given the name War and Peace Nebula by the Midcourse Space Experiment scientists because of its appearance, which, in infrared images the bright, western part resembles a dove, while the eastern part looks like a skull. [ 6 ]
Sh 2-279 (alternatively designated S279 or Sharpless 279) is an HII region and bright nebulae that includes a reflection nebula located in the constellation Orion. It is the northernmost part of the asterism known as Orion's Sword , lying 0.6° north of the Orion Nebula .
IC 11, Sh2-184, [3] Sharpless 184, [1] LBN 616, LBN 123.17-06.28, Pacman Nebula See also: Lists of nebulae NGC 281 , IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula and part of an H II region in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia and is part of the Milky Way 's Perseus Spiral Arm .
Ionisation in the nebula is dominated by Sk 183, an extremely hot O3 main sequence star visible as the bright isolated star at the centre of the Hubble image. [11] A number of other, more distant galaxies also appear in the background of the Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 602, making for a "tantalizing" [12] and "grand" [13] view.
NGC 3576 is a bright emission nebula in the Sagittarius arm of the galaxy a few thousand light-years away from the Eta Carinae nebula. It is also approximately 100 light years across and 9000 light-years away from Earth. [3] It was discovered by John Frederick William Herschel on 16 March 1834. [4] This nebula has received six different ...
If you have a $2 bill burning a hole in your pocket, think twice before spending it at some store. The bill itself might be worth a lot more than two dollars -- enough to build some serious wealth
The Sculptor Galaxy (also known as the Silver Coin Galaxy, Silver Dollar Galaxy, NGC 253, or Caldwell 65) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. The Sculptor Galaxy is a starburst galaxy , which means that it is currently undergoing a period of intense star formation .
