Westerhout 50 (W50) or SNR G039.7-02.0, also referred to as the Manatee Nebula, [1] is a supernova remnant located in the constellation Aquila, about 18,000 light years away. In its centre lies the micro-quasar SS 433 , whose jets are distorting the remnant's shell.
FREESTAR, which stands for Fast Reaction Experiments Enabling Science Technology Applications and Research, was a payload of six separate experiments on the Space Shuttle Columbia. [ 1 ] It was mounted on a crossbay Hitchhiker Multipurpose Equipment Support Structure in the Shuttle's payload bay during the STS-107 flight, which ended with the ...

NGC 7129 is a reflection nebula located 3,300 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. A young open cluster is responsible for illuminating the surrounding nebula. [2] A recent survey indicates the cluster contains more than 130 stars less than 1 million years old. [citation needed] NGC 7129 is located just half a degree from nearby ...

NGC 6572 is a relatively young nebula, and began to shed its gases a few thousand years ago. Because of this, the material is still quite concentrated, which explains its abnormal brightness. The envelope of gas is currently racing out into space at a speed of around 15 kilometres per second. As it becomes more diffuse, it will dim.
NGC 6210, sometimes also known as the Turtle Nebula, [4] is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Hercules, approximately 5.4 ± 1.3 kly from the Sun. [2] It is positioned about 38° above the galactic plane at a vertical distance of about 3.3 kilolight-years (1 kpc) and thus has little extinction from intervening interstellar dust. [5]
The Rosette Nebula (also known as Caldwell 49) is an H II region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The open cluster NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter.
