Southern Crown Nebula - The tail of the CRA reflection nebula - R Coronae Australis is a region of star formations visible in the southern hemisphere. It is located about 500 light years away from Earth. On the right, the globular cluster NGC 6723, located 30 000 light years from Earth in Sagittarius. Image made with the 1.2m Telescope of Schmidt UK from Siding Spring. Corona Australis (the southern crown, CRA) is in the far southern sky but visible from the southern states of the USA. The constellation is small but distinctive. The conspicuous globular cluster NGC 6723 is at the western (right) edge of the photograph, but it is in Sagittarius, and is about 30,000 light years distant. Our picture is about 4.5 degrees across and the extremely faint Corona Australis nebula meanders along the Sgr - CRA border nebula in the same E - W direction. Almost all the nebulosity here is starlight, reflected from minute grains of dust, some of which gather into darker condensations ('molecular clouds'), blotting out the background stars. By far the largest and densest of the molecular clouds is at the western end of the picture, seen in more detail here. It is about a degree long, corresponding to eight light years at the 500ly distance of the nebula and is extremely opaque - - background stars are dimmed by an astonishing 35 magnitudes. However, not all is darkness, and the dusty cloud appears to be tipped by a pair of bright stars, embedded in bright reflection nebulae. The brightest of these is NGC 6726 - 27 and it contains both a visual binary and a variable star. Other wispy nebulae in the western part of the dark cloud betray the presence of young, hidden stars

Star births in the nebula NGC 6729 - Young stars in the nebula NGC 6729 - Close up on a star-forming region. The new stars are invisible, hidden behind the dust cloud at the top left of the image, but the material they eject at very high speed causes colorful and luminous arcs in contact with the surrounding gas. Image obtained in Chile with the VLT. This very detailed false - colour image from Eso's Very Large Telescope shows the dramatic effects of very young stars on the dust and gas from which they were born in the star - forming region NGC 6729. The baby stars are invisible in this picture, being hidden behind dust clouds at the upper left of the picture, but material they are ejecting is crashing into the surroundings at speeds of that can be as high as one million kilometres per hour. These shocks cause the gas to shine and create the strangely coloured glowing arcs and blobs known as Herbig - Haro objects. In this view the Herbig - Haro objects form two lines marking out the probable directions of ejected material. One stretches from the upper left to the lower centre, ending in the bright, circular group of glowing blobs and arcs at the lower centre. The other starts near the left upper edge of the picture and extends towards the centre right. The peculiar scimitar - shaped bright feature at the upper left is probably mostly due to starlight being reflected from dust and is not a Herbig - Haro object. This picture was taken by the FORS1 instrument and records the scene in the light of glowing hydrogen and sulphur

Nebula N44 in the Great Magellan Cloud - Henize 44, an emission nebula in the LMC - Vast region of star formation located in the Great Magellan Cloud. Image obtained by the 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope from Siding Spring. The nearby Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a very active star - forming galaxy. The most massive region of star formation is around 30 Doradus (the Tarantula nebula) which can be seen with the unaided eye, but hundreds of lesser examples are visible with a telescope. This picture shows Henize 44. The energetic ultraviolet light from these stars is absorbed by hydrogen and produces the distinctive red glow from an enormous distance around the cluster.

Nebula N70 in the Great Magellan Cloud - The N 70 nebula in Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) - The Henize 70 nebula extends for about 400 years - light, it is located in the Great Magellan Cloud. In the center, a small group of very massive and extremely hot stars, stars of Wolf - Rayet. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. At the centre of this remarkable bubble - like nebula nebula is a small group of extremely hot stars. Some of these stars are rapdly losing mass and have stellar winds blowing from their surfaces with velocities that approach 4000 kilometers per second. Such stars are known as Wolf - Rayet stars and are found in galaxies capable of forming massive stars. There are many such stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) but not all of them are associated with distinctive nebulae. The outward flowing streams of energetic particles from Wolf - Rayet (and other energetic stars) eventually interact with the relatively stationary interstellar medium pervading the LMC, releasing much of their energy as a thin spherical shell of luminous material. The hollow structure accounts for the shape we see in the sky. This nebula is almost 400 light years across, about 100 times the distance from the Sun to the nearest star. The LMC is about 160,000 light years away and is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way

At the centre of this remarkable bubble - like nebula nebula is a small group of extremely hot stars. Some of these stars are rapdly losing mass and have stellar winds blowing from their surfaces with velocities that approach 4000 kilometers per second. Such stars are known as Wolf - Rayet stars and are found in galaxies capable of forming massive stars. There are many such stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) but not all of them are associated with distinctive nebulae. The outward flowing streams of energetic particles from Wolf - Rayet (and other energetic stars) eventually interact with the relatively stationary interstellar medium pervading the LMC, releasing much of their energy as a thin spherical shell of luminous material. The hollow structure accounts for the shape we see in the sky. This nebula is almost 400 light years across, about 100 times the distance from the Sun to the nearest star. The LMC is about 160,000 light years away and is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way / Bridgeman Images

The rich populations of infant stars found here enable astronomers to examine star forming processes in an environment that is very different from that in our own Milky Way. The high energy radiation blazing out from the hot young stars in N90 is eroding the outer portions of the nebula from the inside, as the diffuse outer reaches of the nebula prevent the energetic outflows from streaming away from the cluster directly.

Star Deneb and Nebulae in the Swan - Deneb and the nebular complex of Sh2 - 112 and Sh2 - 115 in Cygnus North is at top. Deneb is the brightest star in the constellation Cygnus and one of the brightest stars in the night sky, with apparent magnitude 1.25. Deneb's absolute magnitude is - 8.73, placing it among the most luminous stars known. Deneb's exact distance from the Earth is a matter of some dispute; figures from 1600 to 3200 light years appear on various online sources. Estimates for Deneb's luminosity range from about 60,000 to 250,000 times the Sun's brightness. At the distance of Sirius it would be brighter than a full moon. In the image is also visible the nebular complexes called Sh2 - 115 (above) and Sh2 - 112 (below), and Abell 71 visible as a tiny bubble in upper right corner.

Nebula N11 in the Great Magellan Cloud - N11 star forming region in Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) - N11 (LHA 120 - N 11) is a large star-forming region located in the Great Magellan Cloud galaxy. Image, obtained by the Hubble space telescope. This broad vista of young stars and gas clouds in our neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, was captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). This region is named LHA 120 - N 11, informally known as N11, and is one of the most active star formation regions in the nearby Universe. This picture is a mosaic of ACS data from five different positions and covers a region about six arcminutes across

Nebula Sh2 - 106 in the Swan - Sh2 - 106 nebula in Cygnus - Sharpless 106 (Sh2 - 106) is a star-forming region in the constellation Swan. Image obtained by Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Subaru Telescope. The bipolar star - forming region, called Sharpless 2 - 106, or S106 for short, looks like a soaring, celestial snow angel. The outstretched “” wings”” of the nebula record the contrasting imprint of heat and motion against the backdrop of a colder medium. Twin lobes of super - hot gas, glowing blue in this image, stretch outward from the central star. This hot gas creates the “” wings”” of our angel. A ring of dust and gas orbiting the star acts like a belt, cinching the expanding nebula into an “” hourglass””” shape. This composite image combines optical and near - infrared astronomical data from the Hubble Space Telescope with mid - infrared data from the ground - based Subaru Telescope, located on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The Hubble data (H - alpha, J, and H) were taken as part of Hubble Heritage observations of S106 in February 2011. The Subaru data were obtained in May 1999
