The Helix Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula. Though it looks like a bubble or eye from Earth's point of view, the Helix is actually a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases. In its center ...

RCW 120 is an emission nebula and it has a global magnetic field that runs parallel to the Galactic plane. NASA captured this beautiful image of Orion nebulae. This type of nebula forms when the ...

The region around Orion’s Belt consists of many nebulae. Alnitak ionises the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024), which is an emission nebula located around 1,350 lightyears away. It makes the surroundings ...

The Flame Nebula, designated as NGC 2024 and Sh2-277, is an emission nebula in the constellation Orion, lying some 900 to 1,500 light years away from Earth. The bright star Alnitak (just outside ...

Take for example the Orion Nebula. Forming the middle "star ... from the 1920s showed that it had features of an emission ...

From the star-forming Carina Nebula, located 7,600 light-years away, to the dramatic bipolar region Sharpless 2-106, Hubble ...

Astronomers working at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have captured the deepest, most detailed image of the Orion Nebula to date. The team used an infrared instrument called HAWK-I ...

The image, taken by the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, captures an emission nebula — a bright cloud of ionized gas that ...

A reflection in Orion: The Hubble Heritage Project snapped this picture of NGC 1999, a nebula in the constellation Orion, weeks after NASA astronauts repaired the Hubble Space Telescope in ...

The image, taken by the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, captures an emission nebula — a bright cloud of ionized gas that emits its ...
