PIX4620019: Eagle Nebula (IC 4703) and M16 star cluster in the Snake - The Eagle nebula in Serpens - The M16 star cluster is a cluster of young stars distant from 7000 years - light, formed about 2 million years ago in the Eagle nebula, IC 4703. These stars are much warmer than the Sun and can be 30 times more massive. Messier 16 is a cluster of young stars which formed about 2 million years ago from the gas and dust which still surrounds them. Brilliant blue stars of this type are much hotter than the Sun and can be up to thirty times more massive. The dark intrusions visible across the face of the nebula are condensations of dusty material which might one day collapse into yet more stars, should they survive the radiation from the bright stars, which is gradually etching them away. Bright red regions of photo - ionised hydrogen such as M16 are usually found in the spiral arms of galaxies and are often associated recent star formation. This example is about 7000 light years distant / Bridgeman Images

PIX4620256: Detail in the nebula Omega (M17) - Part of M17 nebula - Detail in the nebula Omega (M17), a region of star formation. Image obtained from the 3.5-metre NTT telescope of the European Observatory of La Silla in Chile. The Omega Nebula (M17) is one of the youngest and most massive star - forming regions in the Milky Way. Active star - birth started a few million years ago and continues through today. The brightly shining gas shown in this picture is just a blister erupting from the side of a much larger dark cloud of molecular gas. The dust that is so prominent in this picture comes from the remains of massive hot stars that have ended their brief lives and ejected material back into space, as well as the cosmic detritus from which future suns form. Three - colour composite image of the Omega Nebula (Messier 17), based on images obtained with the EMMI instrument on the ESO 3.58 - metre New Technology Telescope at the La Silla Observatory. North is down and East is to the right in the image. It spans an angle equal to about one third the diameter of the Full Moon, corresponding to about 15 light - years at the distance of the Omega Nebula / Bridgeman Images

PIX4620819: Field around the Nebula Henize 55 - The Henize 55 star forming region in the LMC - Henize 55 (NGC 2014), on the right, is a star-forming region located north of the Great Magellan Cloud. Image obtained from the 1.2m Schmidt UK telescope of 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 one of the more intriguing, NGC 2014 (Henize 55), at right. It contains cluster of hot, young stars, almost hidden in the brightest part of the nebula. The energetic ultraviolet light from these stars is absorbed by hydrogen and produces the distinctive red glow from an enormous distance around the cluster. This picture was made photographically from three glass plates taken with the UK Schmidt telescope of Siding Spring / Bridgeman Images

PIX4621177: Taurus Molecular Cloud - Taurus Molecular Cloud - This region is located on the border of the Taurus and Persee constellations. Covering about 20 x 30 degres, this image shows a complex of emitted nebulae, star clusters, reflexion nebulae and dark nebulae. A molecular cloud is a region of dense gas and dust composed mainly of molecular hydrogen and helium. It's a birthplace of stars. The Molecular Cloud of Taurus is located about 400 years ago - light, and is one of the closest molecular clouds to our solar system. The California Nebula (NGC 1499), an emission nebula located about 1000 years ago - is visible at the top right. The dark nebulae B7, B18 and B19 are visible near the center of the image. Les Pleiades, M45, is the open cluster at the bottom right center. The open clusters NGC 1817, NGC 1746, NGC 1647 are on the left side of the image. The Hyades, Melotte 25, is a V-shaped cluster at the bottom left. It is the closest open cluster, located at a distance of about 151 light years. Aldebaran, Alpha Tauri, a bright red star with a magnitude of 0.75 to 0.95, is located at one end of the V, but does not belong to the cluster. The Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC) is located on the border of the constellations of Taurus and Perseus. It is a large dense area of gas and dust in space made mostly of molecular hydrogen and helium. It is a birth place of stars, which form from the material in the cloud. Covering about 20 x 30 degrees, this wide - angle image shows a complex of bright red emission nebulae, star clusters, blue reflection nebulosity, and complex dark nebulae. The TMC is located about 400 light years away, and is one of the closest molecular clouds to our solar system. The California Nebula (NGC 1499), a very large red emission nebula, is at upper right. Emission nebulae are made up of glowing hydrogen gas. Located in / Bridgeman Images
