Carina Nebula - Our Breathtaking Universe Post Cards
tagged with: star nurseries, star clusters, galaxies, starfields, nebulae, carina nebula, outer space photography, astronomy photographs, universe images, hrbstslr crnneb, european southern observatory, eso, vista
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A fantastic astronomy photograph showing a panoramic view of the WR 22 and Eta Carinae regions of the Carina Nebula.
The picture was created from images taken with the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile.
It's a stunning, fantastic image that reveals a little of the wonder that's out there in our universe.

Trifid Nebula, Messier 16 - Pillars of Creation iPhone 4 Case-Mate Case
tagged with: star forming nebulae, trfdnbl, star nurseries, factories for stars, trifid nebula, astronomy photography, outer space exploration, star gazing, cosmological, phone shells, phone protectors, star clusters, star factory, heavens, eso, vista, european southern observatory, galaxy nebulae
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A fantastic picture from our universe featuring the massive star factory known as the Trifid Nebula.
It was captured in all its glory with the Wide-Field Imager camera attached to the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in northern Chile.
So named for the dark dust bands that trisect its glowing heart, the Trifid Nebula is a rare combination of three nebulae types that reveal the fury of freshly formed stars and point to more star birth in the future. The field of view of the image is approximately 13 x 17 arcminutes.
It's an awe-inspiring, breathtaking image that reveals some of the wonder that is our universe.

The Swan, Star Birth in Constellation Cygnus Post Card
tagged with: awesome hubble images, star nurseries, new star s106ir, constellation cygnus the swan, hrbstslr cygsb, stars galaxies, outer space, outer space picture, astronomy images, star gazing, young hot stars, universe, star birth, interstellar gas clouds, star forming activity, glowing hydrogen, turbulence
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A gorgeous star forming region in Constellation Cygnus (The Swan). This Hubble image shows a dust-rich, interstellar gas cloud with a new-born star in the centre of the hour-glass shape. The glowing blue of the hydrogen in this nebula is due to the jets being emitted from the forming star as dust falls into into it and this causes the heating and turbulence of the hydrogen. The star, known as S106 IR, is reaching the end of its birth and will soon enter the much quieter period of adulthood known as the main stage.

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.

Carina Nebula - Our Breathtaking Universe Refrigerator Magnet
tagged with: star nurseries, star clusters, galaxies, nebulae, awesome astronomy pictures, constellation puppis, the stern, hrbstslr stlrnrsry, cosmological, outer space photography, starfields, european southern observatory, eso, vista
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series
A gorgeous fridge magnet showing the area surrounding the stellar cluster NGC 2467, located in the southern constellation of Puppis ("The Stern"). With an age of a few million years at most, it is a very active stellar nursery, where new stars are born continuously from large clouds of dust and gas.The image, looking like a colourful cosmic ghost or a gigantic celestial Mandrill, contains the open clusters Haffner 18 (centre) and Haffner 19 (middle right: it is located inside the smaller pink region - the lower eye of the Mandrill), as well as vast areas of ionised gas.
The bright star at the centre of the largest pink region on the bottom of the image is HD 64315, a massive young star that is helping shaping the structure of the whole nebular region.

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A gorgeous outer space photograph featuring a colour image of the region known as NGC 2264 - an area of sky that includes the sparkling blue baubles of the Christmas Tree star cluster and the Cone Nebula.
It was created from data taken through four different filters (B, V, R and H-alpha) with the Wide Field Imager at ESO's La Silla Observatory, 2400 m high in the Atacama Desert of Chile in the foothills of the Andes.
The image shows a region of space about 30 light-years across.
