The emission nebula, known as Sh2-284, is an immense region of gas and dust that fuels new star formation. It lacks elements ...

Fluffy strands of cosmic gas and dust illuminated by bright young stars form a beautiful cloudscape in a neighboring nebula.

Discovered by Charles Messier in 1764, M20 is a star-forming nebula located 9,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42 or NGC 1976) ...

Harder to discern without a telescope is the reflection nebula surrounding the cluster. Many nebulae have high-energy stars inside, or a massive explosion in their past. However, not all nebulae ...

This week’s small telescope target is open cluster M50 in Monoceros. You know, Messier’s list is full of spectacular objects — the Andromeda Galaxy is M31; the Orion Nebula is M42 ...

Because NGC 2414 is a young cluster — around 9.5 million years ... This week’s large-telescope target is the Medusa Nebula, also known as planetary nebula Abell 21 and Sharpless 2–274 ...

ABSTRACT.The likely membership of the planetary nebula Abell 8 (PN G167.0–00.9) in the open cluster Bica 6 is confirmed by CCD spectra, UBV(RI)CUBV(RI)C photometry, and radial velocities for luminous ...

M67 or the King Cobra/Golden Eye Cluster, and the spiral galaxy C48. Those in the Southern Hemisphere are encouraged to look for planetary nebula C90 in addition to the four cosmic objects listed ...
