I've got some nebulae I'd like to show you

in #space8 years ago

I fell down a Google Images wormhole and ended up seeing a bunch of Nebulae photos, and I figured I'd share a few with you all.

If you've got any cute celestial selfies, feel free to share them and I'll give you a compliment on your gas cloud composition.

Hi @looneylorenzo, this Nebulae photos are so beautiful! I actually wrote up a post on how NASA takes such photos using three different telescope.

I love that picture of the Terzan 5 cluster!
I'm following you now, and looking forward to your insight. Congrats on your Phd by the by.
