Lagoon nebula M8
Lagoon nebula. Optical image of the Lagoon nebula (M8), a large starbirth region around 30 light years across. North is at top

Rosette Nebula. Coloured optical image of the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237-39). This is a large starbirth region which glows due to ionisation of its gases by radiation from a cluster of hot young stars

Lagoon nebula (M8). This is a huge cloud of gas and dust that glows as the hydrogen gas it contains is ionised by radiation from hot young stars within it

Tarantula Nebula, composite image

Orion Nebula, WISE infrared image C016 / 9725
Orion Nebula, WISE infrared image. The Orion Nebula is an vast cloud of dust and gas where new stars are being formed. It is located around 1500 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Orion

Nebula and star cluster NGC 6604 C014 / 5043
Nebula and star cluster NGC 6604, optical and ultraviolet image. NGC 6604 is the bright grouping of stars at upper left. It is a young star cluster that is the densest part of a more widely scattered

Monoceros R2 nebulae, infrared image C014 / 5039
Monoceros R2 nebulae, infrared image. This star formation region is an association of massive hot young stars illuminating a collection of reflection nebulae, embedded in a large molecular cloud

Deneb and emission nebulae. Deneb (Alpha Cygni, lower left) is a blue giant, and one of the most powerful stars known. It is the 19th brightest star in the night sky despite its huge distance

Gas giant around a young star, artwork. The star is seen shining through the plane of the disc of gas and dust from which the planet formed. Numerous smaller bodies are seen around the planet

Planets in the Orion nebula
