  1. Nebulae By Cosette Jensen Special Thanks to Brannon Buckley

  2. Butterfly Nebula • NGC 6302 • Rolling cauldrons of gas heated to 36000 f • Tearing across space at more than 600000 mi/hr • Dying star 5x bigger than the sun is at the center http://www.wolaver.org/space/NGC6302.jpg

  3. Carina Nebula • NGC 3372 • A star forming region in Sagittarius-Carina arm of the milky way • Super nova activity is increasing in carina • 6 possible neutron stars detected http://i.livescience.com/images/i/000/015/745/wW3/carina-nebula-1920.jpg?1301594935

  4. Eskimo Nebula • NGC 2392 • Discovered in 1787 by William Herschel • Resembles a persons head covered by a hood • Planetary nebula • Gas composed outer layers of a star about 10000 years ago http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/199698main_rs_image_feature_762_946x710.jpg

  5. Bubble Nebula • NGC 7635 • Offers evidence of violent processes at work • Just off center is a star 45x more massive than the sun • 11000 light years away toward the cassiopeia constellation http://www.capella-observatory.com/images/DiffuseNebula/NGC7635.jpg

  6. Orion Nebula • NGC 1976 • Hydrogen and sulfur gas heated and ionized by intense ultraviolet radiation • Contains 4 massive stars known as the trapezium • Stellar winds shaped the edges http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/162283main_image_feature_693_ys_4.jpg

  7. Cat’s Eye Nebula • NGC 6543 • Eleven or more concentric rings, or shells, around it • Observations suggest the star ejected a series of pulses at 1500 year intervals • Some suggest rings come from magnetic activity like the sun spot cycles http://www.wolaver.org/Space/catseye.jpg

  8. Helix Nebula • NGC 7293 • Stars dusty layers are unraveling into space • Glow is from intense ultra violet radiation • 650 light years away in Aquarius http://physics.uwyo.edu/~chip/wiro/instruments/primefocus/wiroprime/pretty_pictures/NGC7293_BVR.jpg

  9. Rosette Nebula • NGC 2244 • 5000 light years away • X rays reveal hundreds of young stars clustered at the center • Central cluster formed then expanded out http://wpcontent.answcdn.com/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Rosette_nebula_Lanoue.png/300px-Rosette_nebula_Lanoue.png

  10. Hourglass Nebula • MyCh 18 • Star is running out of nuclear fuel and is dying • Planetary nebula • Rings are Nitrogen (red) Hydrogen (green) and oxygen (blue) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/MyCn18-crop.png

  11. Dumbbell Nebula • NGC 6853 • Pumps out infrared light • Planetary nebula • 1360 light years away http://www.wolaver.org/Space/dumbbell0.jpg
