NGC 55: A Galaxy of Nebulas

Can you see nebulas in other galaxies? Yes, some nebulas shine brightly enough -- if you know how to look. Clouds of hydrogen and oxygen emit light at very specific colors, and by isolating them, astronomers and astrophotographers can reveal structures that would otherwise be too faint to notice.

CTB 1: The Medulla Nebula

What powers this unusual nebula? CTB 1 is the expanding gas shell that was left when a massive star toward the constellation of Cassiopeia exploded about 10,000 years ago. The star likely detonated when it ran out of elements, near its core, that could create stabilizing pressure with nuclear fusion.

Last observation of the morning. Went to go see #M78 #TheCasperNebula - in the center of the image. In the image you can see the other #nebulas from top to bottom - #NGC2072 , #NGC2067 (right above M78), #LDN1627 (dark nebula above and right of M78), #NGC2064 (lower right of of M78 and LDN1627), #V1647Ori (small nebula to the lower right of M78). #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

#Stars ignite in #Nebulas, spending most time as main sequence stars (like the Sun). Their end depends on mass: low-mass stars become red giants then #White #Dwarfs; high-mass stars end in a #Supernova, forming a neutron star or #BlackHole.

Been busy at work so could not post this operation till tonight. Here is a new observation of #M45 #ThePleiadesStarCluster. The s50 was out there all night and this observation is 586 images at 20 second exposures in total. Captures all the Pleiades plus the #nebulas around the stars. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
