Stars are born from clouds of gas and dust that come together due to the force of their own gravity, which pulls the material inward and initiates the process of star formation.
The planetary nebula Abell 78 is distinct because it contains hot, dense white dwarf stars that formed from the remnants of stars with initial masses between 0.8 and 8 times that of the Sun. These stars underwent a collapse after depleting their nuclear fuel, leading to the creation of the nebula.
This Hubble Space Telescope image showcases the vibrant fragments of the supernova remnant DEM L 190, spreading out across the view.
This Hubble Space Telescope image features a small, dense cloud of gas and dust called CB 130-3, obscuring the center and creating a dark patch against the surrounding background.
The constellation Delphinus, shaped like a dolphin, is home to the bright and irregular planetary nebula known as NGC 6891. This nebula is notable for its unique structure and vibrant colors.
The star-forming nebula G035.20-0.74, located in the constellation Aquila, is known for producing a specific type of massive star called a B-type star.
This Hubble image captures a portion of the dark nebula known as LDN 1165, situated in the constellation Cepheus. It was first cataloged in 1962 by Beverly T. Lynds in her "Catalogue of Dark Nebulae".
