A Distant Solar System (Artist's Concept) (December 2004)

This artist's concept depicts a distant hypothetical solar system, similar in age to our own. Looking inward from the system's outer fringes, a ring of dusty debris can be seen, and within it, planets circling a star the size of our Sun. This debris is all that remains of the planet-forming disk from which the planets evolved. Planets are formed when dusty material in a large disk surrounding a young star clumps together. Leftover material is eventually blown out by solar wind or pushed out by gravitational interactions with planets. Billions of years later, only an outer disk of debris remains.

This striking view of planetary nebula Mz3 was made possible by a scheduling error. Two requests for telescope time were approved, so the research teams combined efforts

Dazzling Views Amateurs with the help of astronomer Adam Block created the images in this gallery in a nightly observing program at the Kitt Peak Visitor Center. The Fox Fur Nebula is shown above.

Sheer Beauty NGC 7380 is a typical starforming region in the direction of an outer spiral arm of our galaxy (around 7,000 light years distant). This field contains many young energetic stars that make the natal gas that surround them glow an intense pink/red. The majority of stars for this newly formed group are out of the field to the upper left. Their winds and radiation sculpt clouds of gas and dust into the mountainous ridges seen here. The darkest parts of this image are foreground clouds of dust thick enough to extinct the light beyond them. Also note the bright star (left of center) that is in a bluish bubble of gas. This may be a Wolf-Rayet star beginning to blow a bubble! Other famous examples of this action include The Bubble Nebula and Thor's Helmut.

The Incredible, Expanding…Bubble Nebula This mysterious ball of gas is about half a degree from M52, in Cassiopeia. In the case of this nebula all of the power and strength is derived from the very energetic star in the center of the bubble of gas. This unusual star is classified as being "Wolf-Rayet" type and is very rare. These stars are incredibly hot (25,000-50,000K) and expel their outer layers of gas at tremendous velocities (thousands of kilometers per second). This particular star lives in an area of the galaxy (at least 10000 light years away) that contains clouds of interstellar gas. Also the Bubble Nebula can be seen very well in the light of Ha.

Gas Clouds These glowing clouds of gas have young and bright stars in their centers, which cause the gas to emit red light. Cool gas and dust in these clouds also cause the dark lanes and filaments by blocking background sources of light. These relative small clouds are located in the constellation of Orion (but closer to the border of Gemini) towards the outer spiral arm of our galaxy. Note the large diffuse nebula on the left edge of the top image.

In Mother Nature (here on the Earth), the energy spent by real Irises to attract pollinators is impressive. Wonderful colors and details attract and assist nectar-seeking guests. While there isn't a biological imperative for the Iris Nebula shown here - its color and detail certainly does invite anyone that searches the heavens to stop and take in this delicate vista. Pastel shades of blue and pink highlight the clouds of this celestial flower.

Light Up the Universe The most famous of the nebulae. Galileo missed this object entirely, but William Herschel had the eerie foresight to call it "the chaotic material of future suns." It's a star-forming region, all right, one of the closest at a mere 1600 light-years. There is enough material here for 10,000 stars like the sun. This image is of the bright central region, an irregular cloud about six light-years across. The four stars in the center (the Trapezium) have recently formed and provide the energy to light up the nebula.

Chess, anyone? This is the most famous example of a dark nebula, that is, an opaque cloud of dust that obscures a bright nebula behind it. The Horsehead is about a light-year across, and about 1200 light-years away. It is backlit by IC 434, a red cloud of energized hydrogen, which is illuminated by Alnitak (Zeta Orionis), one of the belt stars of Orion the Hunter. This object images nicely, but is extremely difficult to see in an eyepiece.

Galactic Center

A name like "Thor's Helmet" seems to imply qualities of power and strength. In the case of this nebula all of the power and strength is derived from the very energetic star in the center of the bubble of gas. This unusual star is classified as being "Wolf-Rayet" type and is very rare. These stars are incredibly hot (25,000-50,000K) and expel their outer layers of gas at tremendous velocities (thousands of kilometers per second). This particular star lives in an area of the galaxy (at least 10000 light years away) that contains clouds of interstellar gas. Thus, this Wolf-Rayet star has blown a bubble of gas in its neighborhood for us to see!

Ring of Stars This is a wide field view of the NGC 6888. NGC 6888 is an arc shaped nebula in the summer sky. The nebula forms a background for several spectacular foreground stars seen in the image. Centrally within the Crescent is a massive Wolf-Rayet star, which started shedding its outer envelope 250,000 years ago. The envelope and preexisting material together form the complex shell we call the Crescent Nebula. NGC 6888 lies in a much larger background of emission nebulosity 4700 light years away in the constellation Cygnus.
