Beautiful astronomical photos in the past week

Located in the constellation of Orion, the Head Horse nebula is one of the most beautiful nebula in the sky. It is a dark cloud, emerging on the red background of glowing hydrogen gas.

Thousands of people were surprised to see the monument of the space era - the shuttle Endeavor - between the streets of Los Angeles on a three-day journey from the airport to the Science Center, where it will be displayed for a long time. long.

Breast clouds form on a thundercloud cloud, hot and humid air rises and cold air descends, condensing into small water droplets, which appear when the Sun shines.

NGC star cluster 206 of Tien Nu galaxy with dusty wings, where young stars form, are about 4,000 light-years across, much larger than young star clusters in our Milky Way.

The fanciful white filaments in the picture are the source of the name Medusa Nebula - an old planetary nebula, which is in its final stages when a solar-sized star exploded to form a white dwarf and leave Outer shell.

This beautiful nebula opens the van den Bergh's reflex nebula list (vDB). The light of nearby stars strongly scatters with green because of dust gas similar to the mechanism of the Earth's atmospheric scattering of sunlight.

The emission nebula NGC 6164 is formed around a star that is 40 times more massive than the Sun. It is in the middle of its life and will cause a supernova explosion in the next 3-4 million years. Vu Loc (synthesized)
