NGC 281 starbirth region, optical image C017 / 3732
NGC 281 starbirth region, optical image. Also called the Pacman Nebula, this is a region of active star formation 9, 200 light years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia

Trifid Nebula M20, optical image C017 / 3720
Trifid Nebula (M20, NGC 6514), optical image. The Trifid Nebula lies around 9000 light years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius

Veil Nebula (IC 1340), optical image C017 / 3755
Veil Nebula (IC 1340), optical image. The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus

Tulip nebula, optical image C017 / 3754

Great Orion nebula (M42), Hubble image C017 / 3753
Great Orion nebula (M42), Hubble Space Telescope image. M42 is a diffuse nebula situated south(b) of Orions Belt in the constellation of Orion

Cats Paw nebula, optical image
Cats Paw nebula (NGC 6334), combined optical image. The Cats Paw emission nebula is a huge stellar nursery where hundreds of stars are formed

Dumbbell Nebula M27, Hubble image C017 / 3723
Dumbbell Nebula (M22, NGC 6853). Combined images from the Subaru Telescope and Hubble Space telescope of the Dumbbell Nebula M22

Nebula NGC 1760, optical image C017 / 3736
Nebula NGC 1760, optical image. NGC 1760 is an star-forming complex nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way

Crab Nebula (IC 1340), optical image C017 / 3717
Cab nebula (M1). Optical image of the Crab nebula, the remnant of a supernova. In the centre of the nebula is the remains of the stars core, which has formed a pulsar (white dot)

Trifid Nebula M20, Hubble image C017 / 3721
Trifid Nebula (M20, NGC 6514). Combined images from the Subaru Telescope and Hubble Space telescope of the Trifid Nebula M20

Veil Nebula (IC 1340), optical image C017 / 3716
Veil Nebula (IC 1340), optical image. The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus

Flame nebula (NGC 2024)
Flame nebula, optical image. The flame shape is caused by a dark nebula. This cloud of dust and gas obscures the light from the emission nebula that lies behind

Cave nebula (SH2-155), optical image. This nebula is an emission nebula, known as the Cave nebula because of the dark regions on the northern edge

Plasma life forms, artwork
Plasma life forms. Artwork of hypothetical plasma life forms on the surface of a star. Plasma is an ionised gas commonly found in fluorescent lamps, lightning, polar aurorae, stars and in space

Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), optical image. This is a planetary nebula, a series of shells of gas cast off by a dying star. The ejection of the stars outer layers exposes its hot core

Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264)
Christmas Tree cluster (NGC 2264), optical image. This nebula, also known as the Cone Mosaic nebula, consists of clouds of dust

"Ionised Gas: Unveiling the Cosmic Spectacle" Step into the vast expanse of the Milky Way, where ionised gas dances in mesmerizing displays. From the captivating Ring Nebula M57, as captured by Hubble's C017 / 3725 image, to the awe-inspiring Solar prominence that illuminates our own star. Venturing further, we encounter celestial wonders like the ethereal Large Magellanic Cloud and its intricate tapestry of ionised gases. The enigmatic Horsehead Nebula beckons with its dark silhouette against a backdrop of vibrant hues. Glimmers of light reflect off NGC 2170's Reflection Nebula, painting a picture reminiscent of an artist's brushstroke. Meanwhile, Eagle Nebula (NGC 6611) reveals a stunning optical image that unveils newborn stars amidst swirling clouds in C017 / 3719. Witnessing starbirth becomes possible through C017 / 3732's optical image capturing NGC 281 starbirth region. Its radiant glow serves as a testament to nature's ability to create new cosmic marvels. The Trifid Nebula M20 enchants with its trifurcated beauty—a blend of dusty lanes and glowing regions filled with ionised gas—showcased in C017 / 3720's optical image. Delicate wisps adorn IC 1340 or Veil Nebula—an exquisite display resembling gossamer threads woven across space—captured flawlessly in C017 /3755’s optical image.
