This is the Trifid Nebula! ๐๐๐
With its name meaningย โdivided into 3 lobesโ, this close-up picture shows the stellar beauty of this star-forming region. Containing an open cluster, emission nebula, reflection nebula, and a dark nebula, the Trifid Nebula is one of the most unique nebulae that makes it a common target for astronomers! ๐๐๐

This is the Triangulum Galaxy! ๐๐๐
Despite being a spiral galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy has very little star formation as shown through infrared observations from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). However, a region known as NGC 604 is the largest stellar nursery between itself, the Milky Way, and the Andromeda Galaxy! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฒ, 8 ๐๐๐ โข The fact that it's the last monthly spread of this year seems so unreal..I did this constellation kind of theme because outer space have a special place in my heart and this is my birth month so why not! also let's say goodbye to this unfortunate year and wish that the new moon of 2021 will bring new lights!โจ

This is the Catโs Paw Nebula! ๐พ๐พ๐พ
This nebula is glowing due to the interactions between its hot stars and large molecules known asย polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This makes it particularly bright in the infrared and a common target for astrophotography in the Milky Way galaxy! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

This is the Tarantula Nebula! ๐๐๐
For some reason, this photo really highlighted the red and blue colors of this nebula - making it look a lot more colorful. This huge star-forming region is located in our satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and has hot gas up to a million degrees in temperature that shape this nebula! โจโจโจ
