Large Magellanic Cloud Superbubble in Nebula N44 Postcard
tagged with: dust clouds, new born stars, star nursery, interstellar hydrogen clouds, n44 nebula, star cluster ngc 1929, supernovas, hrbstslr sbsblmc, astronomy images, outer space, hot young stars
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An awesome photograph from deep space featuring a super bubble in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a small satellite of our Milky Way galaxy around 160000 light years from us.
The massive stars of this nebula produce intense radiation, expelling matter at high speeds, and race through their main stage finally to explode as supernovas. The stellar winds of charged hydrogen and other particles and the supernova shock waves carve out huge cavities called superbubbles in the surrounding gas. Blue shows hot regions created by these winds and shocks, while red shows where the dust and cooler gas are found. Yellow regions show where ultraviolet radiation from hot, young stars is causing gas in the nebula to glow.

Tarantula Nebula Star Forming Gas Cloud Sculpture iPhone 5 Cover
tagged with: awesome hubble images, star nurseries, young hot stars, tarantula nebula, large magellanic cloud, triggering star formation, hrbstslr tnlmcsfr, outer space, universe, astronomy photographs, star forming activity
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An awesome mobile phone shell featuring the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, our galactic home. This Hubble image shows old stars from the distant past and rich, interstellar gas clouds feeding the formation of new ones. The most massive and hottest stars are intense, high-energy radiation sources and this pushes away what remains of the gas and dust, compressing and sculpting it. As the whorls and eddies clump and stretch it, gravity takes over and the birth of the next generation of new stars is triggered.

The Cats Eye Nebula Round Clocks
tagged with: nebulae, amazing astronomy images, hubble chandra images, cats eye nebula, stellar evolution, dying star, red giant evolution, outer space pictures, hrbstslr tcenebnch, star galaxies, nasa
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A gorgeous design featuring a composite image of the Cat's Eye nebula from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope.
This famous nebula represents a phase of stellar evolution after a star like our Sun runs out of fuel. In this phase, a star becomes an expanding red giant and sheds some of its outer layers, eventually leaving behind a hot core that collapses to form a dense white dwarf star. A fast wind emanating from the hot core rams into the ejected atmosphere, pushes it outward, and creates the graceful filamentary structures.
