"This nebula was also given the name War and Peace Nebula by the Midcourse Space Experiment scientists because of its appearance. They said that in infrared images the bright, western part resembles a dove, while the eastern part looks like a skull.[6] It is located about 5500 light years away from Earth." -@wikipedia More about this type of HII Nebula: "Usually, a young star will ionize part of the same cloud from which it was born although only massive, hot stars can release sufficient energy to ionize a significant part of a cloud. In many emission nebulae, an entire cluster of young stars is doing the work." An entire cluster of young stars is doing the work. We doing the work y'all. #clustergoals #squadgoals #nebula #ngc6357 #astronomy #astrophysics #physics #metaphysics #loveandscience #stars #4laspoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/BePZ6CzhIQ5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yqj2crin8au3
