Star formation in the nebula NGC 2467 - Star - forming region NGC 2467 - Star formation in the nebula NGC 2467, located approximately 17,000 years ago - light from Earth in the southern constellation of Stern. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2004. A colourful star - forming region is featured in this stunning new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of NGC 2467. Looking like a roiling cauldron of some exotic cosmic brew, huge clouds of gas and dust are sprinkled with bright blue, hot young stars. Strangely shaped dust clouds, resembling spilled liquids, are silhouetted against a colourful background of glowing. Like the familiar Orion Nebula, NGC 2467 is a huge cloud of gas - - mostly hydrogen - - that serves as an incubator for new stars. It is located about 17,000 light years away in the southern constellation of Puppis. This picture was created from images taken with the Wide Field Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys through three different filters (F550M, F660N and F658N, shown in blue, green and red). These filters were selected to let through different colours of red and yellow light arising from different elements in the gas. The total aggregate exposure time was about 2000 seconds and the field of view is about 3.5 arcminutes across. These data were taken in 2004

Nebula of the Lagoon (M8) in Sagittarius - The Hourglass Nebula in M8, NGC 6523 - View of the Nebula of the Lagoon (M8/NGC 6523). Located in Sagittarius, at a distance of 5800 years - light, it is visible to the naked eye in good conditions. It is a star-forming region illuminated by several large O-type stars that belong to the open cluster NGC 6530 visible on the left of the image. The brightest part of the nebula is called the hourglass nebula whose gases are excited mainly by two massive supergeant stars Herschel 36 and 9 Sagittarii. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. At the heart of the Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius lies the diminutive Hourglass Nebula. This extremely bright object is associated with the blue star alongside it, named Herschel 36 after its discoverer. Herschel described M8 as 'A noble nebula' and 'a fine and complicated nebula', but he was clearly intrigued by the Hourglass which he compared to the nucleus of the Andromeda nebula, M31 as 'decidedly not stellar'. The tiny bright nebula that captures Herschel's attention is energised partly by the bright star H36 and partly by a star which, for the present, remains hidden in the pinched waist of the Hourglass. The obscured star is only visible in infrared light which can penetrate the thick clouds of dust seen over much of the Lagoon Nebula and clearly evident in a recent Hubble Space Telescope photograph. These stars are probably less than 10,000 years old, about as old as the Hourglass itself, and are evidence of recent star - formation in this very dusty and active region

Nebulae IC 1283 - 84 and NGC 6589 - 90 in Sagittarius - Nebulosity in Sagittarius, NGC 6589 - 90 - These nebulae are located in Sagittarius at a distance of about 5900 light years from Earth. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Our view towards the centre of the Galaxy is obscured by extensive clouds of interstellar dust in the direction of the constellation of Sagittarius. The large - scale, patchy nature of the obscuration can be seen with the unaided eye and it is evident on smaller scales from the uneven distribution of background stars across this picture. Light from bright stars within the dust produces the two blue reflection nebulae (NGC 6589 and 6590), and these stars are members of a loose open cluster of stars, NGC 6595 (Sharpless 37) which is at a distance of about 5,900 light years. A large, almost transparent cloud of hydrogen, mixed with traces of dust, glows with a characteristic magenta hue over most of the field of view. This is known as IC 1283, 1284 and 4700 and is likely at a similar distance to NCC 6595

Eagle Nebula (IC 4703) and M16 star cluster in the Snake - The dust lanes in Messier 16 (NGC 6611) - Located in the Snake, this nebula is about 6000 years away from Earth. The M16 star cluster is a cluster of young stars formed about 2 million years ago in the Eagle nebula, IC 4703. These stars are much warmer than the Sun and can be 30 times more massive. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. There are few clearer examples anywhere of the intimate relationship between dust, gas and young stars than M16. We see a young cluster of stars (NGC 6611) which formed about 2 million years ago, illuminating a cloud of hydrogen gas. The gas is also dusty, and in places the dust is dense enough to prevent starlight from reaching the gas and making it glow with its distinctive red hue. The luminous hydrogen provides a vivid background against which are seen numerous dark lanes and discrete globules of dust. Many of the dusty clouds are edged with bright rims which indicate the direction of the exciting stars and point to the cluster as the energising source

La Nationalgalerie, Bodestrasse, island of museums in Berlin (Germany). Construction 1866-1876, architect Friedrich August Stuler. In 1841 King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia (1795-1861) designed a site that was to become an area dedicated to knowledge and art. In 90 years, this island has become one of the largest spaces dedicated to art. Here the National Gallery was originally built to house Egyptian art collections.

North America and Pelican nebulae in Cygnus - North America and Pelican nebulae in Cygnus - The North America nebula (NGC 7000) is a large emission nebula located near the Deneb star in the constellation Swan. To the right of NGC 7000, the Pelican nebula (IC 5070). Image obtained by combining light through 3 different filters that highlight the oxygen in blue, hydrogen in green, and sulfur in red. North America (NGC 7000) is an emission nebula close to Deneb in the constellation Cygnus. On its right is the Pelican nebula (IC 5070). Image made in combining the light from 3 different filters tracing emission from oxygen (blue), hydrogen (green), and sulphur (red)

Star Formation Region LH 95 in the Great Magellan Cloud - NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage team/Novapix - LH 95 is a star-forming region located in the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud at 160,000 years - light from Earth. Blue giant stars, two to three solar masses cohabit with barely formed stars. In the background, some more distant galaxies are visible.
