Did you know that a collection of thousands of #stars lie around 4,350 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Sagittarius?
Set within the Lagoon Nebula, these stars form in a gigantic cloud of interstellar dust and gas.

Messier 42 (The Orion Nebula)
This stellar nursery, known as the Orion Nebula, has been known to many different cultures throughout human history. It is 1,500 light-years away and the nearest big star-forming area to Earth, with an apparent magnitude of 4.

Early science break.
Orion and the Running Man also known as M42, the Orion Nebula's glowing gas surrounds hot, young stars. About 40 light-years across, it lies at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-years away.
A fantastically detailed @NASAHubble image of M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy. The galaxy is about 21 million light-years away. In 2011 a Type Ia supernova was discovered in this galaxy.
Do you remember her? Many people wanted this drawing. But it found connoisseur very quickly💥

This cosmic expanse of dust, gas, and stars covers some 6 degrees on the sky in the heroic constellation Perseus.
At the molecular cloud's estimated distance, this field of view would span over 90 light-years.
The Mountains of NGC 2174

This fantastic skyscape lies near the edge of NGC 2174 a star forming region about 6,400 light-years away in the nebula-rich constellation of Orion. It follows mountainous clouds of gas
However, in 1974, from Arecibo, a message of radio waves fired at a frequency of 2,380 megahertz, with 1,000 kilowatts of power (a good shout), was launched toward the Messier 13 star cluster, more than 20,000 light-years away.
#Merry #Christmas! Here's the Christmas Tree Nebula I captured in deep space, 2,300 light-years from #Earth.
#Thor not only has his own day, but a helmet in the heavens. Popularly called Thor's Helmet, NGC 2359 is a hat-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor's Helmet is about 30 light-years across. @NASA

Orion, Head to Toe! 🤩 The Orion Molecular Cloud is 1600 light-years from Earth! The red star at his shoulder is Betelgeuse, the super blue giant Rigel is at his foot!

If not perfect then this spiral galaxy is at least one of the most photogenic. An island universe of about 100 billion stars, 32 million light-years away toward the constellation Pisces, M74

Astronomers have found the closest black hole known to Earth, just 1,600 light-years away. It's dormant — at least for now. https://t.co/NSYbp7SXNC
