Celestial ‘Snow Angel’ Dazzles in New Hubble Telescope Photo

Just in time for the holidays, the Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a spectacular view of a star-forming region in our Milky Way galaxy that looks like a snow angel in deep space.
A newly-formed star called S106 IR is shrouded in dust at the centre of the image, and is responsible for the surrounding gas cloud’s hourglass-like shape and the turbulence visible within. Light from glowing hydrogen is coloured blue in this image.
This region, called Sharples 2-106 (or S106 for short) is located nearly 2,000 light-years away in the direction of the constellation of Cygnus (The Swan). The nebula is found in a relatively isolated part of the Milky Way, researchers said.
The S106 nebula measures several light-years across, and contains vast clouds of gas that resemble outstretched wings amidst an hourglass shape. The light from the glowing gas is colored blue in this image. A video and photo of the “snow angel” based on Hubble’s observations reveals a spectacular view of the cosmic sight.

—On December 15th, Comet Lovejoy passed within 140 000 kilometers of the surface of the sun. Much of the comet evaporated, but the frozen nucleus of the comet survived and returned to deep space.

Moon and Planets Align in Korea
Moon and planets align in the evening sky as seen from Geojedo Island of Korea. The crescent Moon is the lowest, while Venus (in conjunction with the Moon) is second on the line, then Mars, and last Jupiter among stars of Capricornus.

Zodiacal Light from La Palma
The time exposed image above shows the zodiacal light as observed at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain on the evening of June 27, 2011. The zodiacal light is the wedge-shaped swatch spreading just above the horizon, at lower center, to the upper left — its axis extends through the constellations of the zodiac.
