NGC 6164: A Dragon's Egg (APOD: 2025 Apr 24) Image Credit & Copyright: Daniel Stern https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250424.html Explanation: Beautiful emission nebula NGC 6164 was created by a rare, hot, luminous O-type star, some 40 times as massive as the Sun. Seen at the center of the cosmic cloud, the star is a mere 3 to 4 million years old. In another three to four million years the massive star will end its life in a supernova explosion. Spanning around 4 light-years, the nebula itself has a bipolar symmetry. That makes it similar in appearance to more common and familiar planetary nebulae - the gaseous shrouds surrounding dying sun-like stars. Also like many planetary nebulae, NGC 6164 has been found to have an extensive, faint halo, revealed in this deep image of the region. Expanding into the surrounding interstellar medium, the material in the halo is likely from an earlier active phase of the O star. This gorgeous telescopic view is a composite of extensive narrow-band image data, highlighting glowing atomic hydrogen gas in red and oxygen in greenish hues, with broadband data for the surrounding starfield. Also known as the Dragon's Egg nebula, NGC 6164 is 4,200 light-years away in the right-angled southern constellation of Norma. https://www.instagram.com/messierchaser/ Starship Asterisk* • APOD Discussion Page https://asterisk.apod.com/discuss_apod.php?date=250424 #APOD

Stellar Sculptors of Star Cluster NGC 346 in Tucana | Hubble FriendsofNASA.org | High-res image: https://www.friendsofnasa.org/2025/04/stellar-sculptors-in-star-cluster-ngc.html This new image showcases NGC 346, a dazzling young star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The Small Magellanic Cloud is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located 200,000 light-years away in the constellation Tucana. The Small Magellanic Cloud is less rich in elements heavier than helium—what astronomers call metals—than the Milky Way. This makes conditions in the galaxy similar to what existed in the early universe. Although several images of NGC 346 have been released previously, this view includes new data and is the first to combine Hubble observations made at infrared, optical, and ultraviolet wavelengths into an intricately detailed view of this vibrant star-forming factory. NGC 346 is home to more than 2,500 newborn stars. The cluster’s most massive stars, many times more massive than our Sun, blaze with an intense blue light in this image. The glowing pink nebula and snakelike dark clouds are the remnant of the birthsite of the stars in the cluster. The inhabitants of this cluster are stellar sculptors, carving out a bubble from the nebula. NGC 346’s hot, massive stars produce intense radiation and fierce stellar winds that pummel the billowing gas of their birthplace and begin to disperse the surrounding nebula. The nebula, named N66, is the brightest example of an H II (pronounced ‘H-two’) region in the Small Magellanic Cloud. H II regions are set aglow by ultraviolet light from hot young stars like those in NGC 346. The presence of the brilliant nebula indicates the young age of the star cluster, as an H II region shines only as long as the stars that power it—a mere few million years for the massive stars pictured here.

NGC 2467 The Skull and Crossbones Nebula NGC 2467, a vibrant emission nebula located in the constellation Puppis, approximately 13,000 light-years from Earth, this nebula is a stellar nursery where new stars are being born. The bright red 'eye' of the skull is a region of particularly dense gas, possibly surrounding a young star or a protostar. The surrounding dark lanes are molecular clouds, rich in dust, which obscure the light from the stars behind them, hinting at areas where future star formation could occur Bortle 8 backyard 15 hours Skywatcher Ed80 Skywatcher EQ6-R Pro Zwo Asi 533mc Optolong L-ultimate filter Pixinsight Ps #ASIWEEK #astrophotography #astro #space — in Perth, WA, Australia.

“I've depleted my entire backlog of data to process so I'm looking back in time to see what pictures I can improve upon. This is the Popped Balloon Nebula CTB 1 (Abell 85) that I captured 5 years ago in 2019. It's a faint, close-by supernova (star explosion) remnant in the constellation of Cassiopeia. I used my Explore Scientific 127MM telescope, ZWO ASI1600MM camera, and Astronomik narrowband filters from Detroit.”

The Cone Nebula and amazing star-forming region in the constellation Monoceros, located about 2,700 light-years away. The Cone Nebula ( top left)is a dark pillar of gas and dust about 7 light-years long, gradually being eroded by intense stellar winds. William Herschel discovered it in 1784. Next to it is the Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264) spans approximately 30 light-years and consists of young, hot stars emitting radiation that shapes the surrounding nebula. To the right, the Fox Fur Nebula is a complex, textured region of illuminated gas and dust, named for its resemblance to an animal pelt. Its striking colors come from a mix of emission, reflection, and dark nebulae interacting with the energetic stars of NGC 2264. At the bottom right, IC 447 is a 25 light-year-wide reflection nebula, where dust scatters the light of nearby stars, creating a soft blue glow. It was first cataloged by Edward Barnard in the late 19th century. This entire region is an active stellar nursery, where new stars continue to form from collapsing clouds of gas and dust.

NGC 6914 Nebula Complex My latest picture from the backyard is NGC 6914 in Cygnus! You may have seen this object in your wide-field Cygnus shots near the bright star Sadr. I have always noticed those glowing 'blue eyes', but had never dedicated a project to them until now. I spent a lot of time processing this one to get it right... I hope you like it!
