Nicole Sharp<p><strong>A Stellar Look at NGC 602</strong></p><p>The young star cluster NGC 602 sits some 200,000 light years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Seen here in near- and mid-infrared, the cluster is a glowing cradle of star forming conditions similar to the early universe. A large nebula, made up of multicolored dust and gas, surrounds the star cluster. Its dusty finger-like pillars could be an example of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities or plumes shaped by energetic stellar jets.

grobi<p>Star Formation in the Pacman Nebula<br> * Image Credit &amp; Copyright: Juan Montilla (AAE)<br> <a href="https://www.aaeivissa.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">aaeivissa.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Explanation: <br>You'd think the Pacman Nebula would be eating stars, but actually it is forming them. Within the nebula, a cluster's young, massive stars are powering the pervasive nebular glow. The eye-catching shapes looming in the featured portrait of NGC 281 are sculpted dusty columns and dense Bok globules seen in silhouette, eroded by intense, energetic winds and radiation from the hot cluster stars. If they survive long enough, the dusty structures could also be sites of future star formation. Playfully called the Pacman Nebula because of its overall shape, NGC 281 is about 10,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. This sharp composite image was made through narrow-band filters in Spain in mid 2024. It combines emissions from the nebula<br>'s hydrogen and oxygen atoms to synthesize red, green, and blue colors. The scene spans well over 80 light-years at the estimated distance of NGC 281. <br><a href="https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2007/ngc281/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2007</span><span class="invisible">/ngc281/</span></a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_281" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_281</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bok_globule" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bok_glob</span><span class="invisible">ule</span></a><br><a href="https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap220925.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap220925.ht</span><span class="invisible">ml</span></a><br><a href="https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap071102.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap071102.ht</span><span class="invisible">ml</span></a><br><a href="http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky/cas/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="">hawastsoc.org/deepsky/cas/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://lasi2.wordpress.com/2014/02/13/pin-under-microscope/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lasi2.wordpress.com/2014/02/13</span><span class="invisible">/pin-under-microscope/</span></a><br><a href="https://www.aaeivissa.com/telescopio-cala-dhort/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aaeivissa.com/telescopio-cala-</span><span class="invisible">dhort/</span></a><br><a href="https://science.nasa.gov/ems/10_ultravioletwaves/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">science.nasa.gov/ems/10_ultrav</span><span class="invisible">ioletwaves/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>space</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/nebula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nebula</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astrophotography</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/NASA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NASA</span></a></p>

However, on 3/9 I managed to do a quick capture and process M42 - The Great Orion Nebula before it disappears for the summer. This shot is a stack of 40x60sec exposures.

Spanning 15 light-years in Cepheus, it lies 650 light-years away.
