Nebula California (NGC 1499) in Persee - The California Nebula (NGC 1499) in Perseus - NGC 1499 is a very large emission nebula located 1140 years - light from Earth in the constellation Persee. Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed. The north is at top. This is a huge emission nebula in Perseus constellation. It is a cloud of gas, mainly hydrogen, which glows due to the ionization by radiation from a hot nearby star. The California Nebula is made glowing by the 4th magnitude star Menkib (Xi Persei, the bright blue star in center right). The nebula is named because recall the shape of the US state when viewed from the west. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory

Spiral galaxy M101 in the Great Bear - Large field - Wide field view of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) - The galaxy M101 (NGC 5457) is located about 27 million years away - light from Earth. It spans more than 170,000 light years, almost double the size of our galaxy. We think that of the trillion stars in it, 100 billion stars could be similar to our Sun. In this image, other galaxies are visible: NGC 5474 (below M101), NGC 5473 (just above M101), NGC 5485 (upper left), NGC 5422 (upper center) and UGC 8837 (near star 86 uA, lower left). Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed. Catalogued as M101, the Pinwheel is a nice face - on spiral galaxy. It lies in the northern circumpolar constellation Ursa Major (The Big Bear), at a distance of about 25 million light - years from Earth. The bright blue star at right is 86 Uma, barely visible at the naked eye from a dark site. Also visible some other nice galaxies like NGC 5474 (below under M101)

Remains of the Supernova of Vails - Nearly 12,000 years ago, a massive star exploded in the constellation of Vails. The star reaches the end of life and expels its material to become a small star only a few kilometres in diameter. This stellar corpse is a neutron star, the pulsar of the Voiles, barely visible towards the center of the image. The gas shell that surrounds it, extends today for more than 100 years - light; The field of this image is gigantic; it covers part of the sky equal to 19 times the apparent diameter of the full moon. Mosaic of images obtained from Siding Spring's 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope

Remnants of the Crab Supernova (M1) in the Taurus - The north is at top. In the year 1054 AD a star in the constellation of Taurus exploded in a spectacular supernova so bright it appeared to dominate the sky except for the Sun and Moon for many days even in daylight. What we see now is the supernova remnant: a brilliant nebula, the first in the famous list compiled by Charles Messier. The nebula houses a spinning neutron star called a pulsar. The brilliant blue star is the 3rd magnitude Zeta Tauri. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory

Nebula IC 1318 in the Swan - IC 1318 Butterfly nebula in Cygnus - IC 1318 is a very large emission nebula that surrounds the supergiant star Gamma Cygni (Sadr), visible towards the middle of the image. LDN 889 is a vast region of dark nebulae that separates the nebula on the left from Sadr. On the extreme right, another dark nebula, B343. Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed. Supergiant star Gamma Cygni lies at the center of the Northern Cross, famous asterism in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. Known by the proper name Sadr, the bright star also lies at the center of this gorgeous skyscape, featuring a complex of stars, dust clouds, and glowing nebulae along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. The field of view spans over 4 degrees (eight Full Moons) on the sky and includes emission nebula IC 1318 and open star cluster NGC 6910. Left of Gamma Cyg and shaped like two glowing cosmic wings divided by a long dark dust lane, IC 1318'

Nebula NGC 7635 in Cassiopee - North is at top. Seemingly adrift in a cosmic sea of stars and glowing gas, the delicate, floating apparition near the center (next to a blue tinted star) of this widefield view is cataloged as NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula. A mere 10 light - years wide, the tiny Bubble Nebula and the larger complex of interstellar gas and dust clouds are found about 11,000 light - years distant, straddling the boundary between the parental constellations Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Also included in the vista is open star cluster M52 (upper left), some 5,000 light - years away. The image spans about 2.7 degrees on the sky corresponding to a width of just over 500 light - years at the estimated distance of the Bubble Nebula. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory

Nebulae IC 405 and IC 410 in the Coach - IC 405, on the right, is a star-forming region located about 1500 years - light from Earth in the constellation of Coach. The bright part, at the top, houses the star AE Aurigae, a young star very bright, blue; it is a star fleeing, a star leaking from the Nebula of Orion has a speed of 400,000 km/h for 2.7 million years. IC 410, on the left, is a weak nebulosite surrounding the star cluster NGC 1893

Remains of supernova located about 1400 light years ago in the constellation Swan. The supernova would have exploded less than 10,000 years ago. Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed - The Veil Nebula, also known as the Cygnus Loop, is a large supernova remnant, relatively faint supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. The source supernova exploded some 5000 to 8000 years ago. The distance to the nebula is not precisely known, with estimates ranging from 1400 to 2600 light years. It was discovered on 1784 September 5 by William Herschel. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory.: Les laces du Swan - The Veil nebula

Spiral galaxy M33 in the Triangle - Spiral galaxy M33 in Triangulum - M33, (NGC 598), the galaxy of the Triangle, is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. It belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or Andromede galaxy. This image is a composite of two black and white images obtained from the 1.2m telescope of Mount Palomar, California. Spiral galaxy M33 is a mid - sized member of our Local Group of Galaxies. M33 is also called the Triangulum Galaxy for the constellation in which it resides. About four times smaller (in radius) than our Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), it is much larger than the many of the local dwarf spheroidal galaxies. M33's proximity to M31 causes it to be thought by some to be a satellite galaxy of this more massive galaxy. M33's proximity to our Milky Way Galaxy causes it to appear more than twice the angular size of the Full Moon, and be visible with a good pair of binoculars. <BR>This image is a composite from black and

The smaller Pelican nebula (IC 5067/70) is at right. These nebulae are certainly part of the same complex of hydrogen gas and dust that is crossed by a dark nebula (called LDN935) in the foreground. The distance to these nebulae is uncertain, although it is commonly accepted they lie at about 1600 light years from our Sun. It is also unknown which star ionises the nebulae and causes them to glow. This nebular complex is found in the Cygnus constellation, just west of the bright star Deneb.

Open cluster of Pleiades - Open cluster of Pleiades - The north is at top. The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is one of the brightest and famous star clusters visible in the northern hemisphere. It consists of about 500 bright, hot, young stars that were all born at the same time between 75 and 150 million years ago within a large cloud of dust and gas. The cluster contains many stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the naked eye. The blue haze that accompanies them is due to very fine dust which still remains and preferentially reflects the blue light from the stars. This star cluster lies some 440 light years away from the Earth, in the constellation of Taurus. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory

Deneb's exact distance from the Earth is a matter of some dispute; figures from 1600 to 3200 light years appear on various online sources. Estimates for Deneb's luminosity range from about 60,000 to 250,000 times the Sun's brightness. At the distance of Sirius it would be brighter than a full moon.
