PIX4580154: Antares star and the Rho Ophiuchi nebula - This coloree nebula represents the visible part of a very large molecule cloud, the Ophiuchus cloud. This star-forming region is located about 520 light years away. The brightest star below is the star Antares, from the Scorpio. On the right, the M4 star cluster. View of the region surrounding the bright triple star Rho Ophiuchus (in the blue cloud). This star-forming region is located at about 520 light years in Scorpius constellation. The area is highlighted by the bright star Antares (bottom), a red supergiant 40,000 times more luminous than our sun / Bridgeman Images
PIX4580124: Orion's Nebula - The Great Nebula in Orion - Located 1500 light years from Earth, Orion's Nebula is the closest region to the formation of stars of the Sun. In its heart, a group of young stars called Orion's Trapeze. To the eye, the nebula appears as a misty patch around the central star of the line of three which form Orion's sword. The central group of stars is the Trapezium cluster and these stars are responsible for producing the nebula. It is the high concentration of dust and gas in this part of the sky which has resulted in the formation of the stars, so the Orion nebula is no random association of bright stars and dusty gas. At a distance of 1500 light years, the Orion nebula is the nearest star-forming region to the Sun / Bridgeman Images

PIX4581095: Star Trains on the Observatory of Siding Spring - Star trails above Anglo - Australian Observatory - Photographic installation of several hours and dome of Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. As the earth rotates the stars appear to move across the sky, as do the more obvious sun and Moon This effect is easily recorded by leaving a camera outdoors with its shutter open during the night. To make this picture, the camera was pointed to the southwest, towards the dome of the AAT, from the UK Schmidt building on Siding Spring Mountain in New South Wales / Bridgeman Images
