Celebrate Happy Holidays with #NASA.

Here is a November 2024 picture of #ChristmasTreeCluster (Nebula NGC 2264) discovered in Dec 23 by Chandra X-ray Observatory.

Traditions are great but let us not forget #science.

’Tis the season to be freezing. Tonight, I imaged the Christmas Tree Cluster. The cluster is part of a larger star-forming region, including the Cone Nebula, which gives it that iconic Christmas tree shape.

To wish you all a happy Christmas here's my photo of the #ChristmasTreeCluster + #ConeNebula. Thanks for all of the likes/comments/RTs, for listening to the #StarDiary podcast & for the amazing support since the release of the Collin's Stargazer's Bible. I'll be back in 2025. Have a good one!

🎄Do you know the "Christmas tree cluster"?

This cluster of young stars, #NGC2264, lies about 2,500 light-years away. Its X-ray–emitting stars shine within glowing green gas left behind from their birth cloud. 🌌

We wish you happy holidays! ✨

Here’s the last image taken with my ASI2600MM Pro camera right before the power port broke. I just got it back from repair yesterday. The Cone Nebula still looks great considering that I didn’t get more subs due to 📷 failure.

Merry Christmas from deep space. 🌲

A bit of seasonal fun with two "Christmas images". First the #ChristmasTreeCluster #NGC2264 and connected #ConeNebula altered to mix RGB and SHO palettes across a 2 panel mosaic and then #M42 which always shouts "Its a turkey!!" at me when I catch it 🤣 #astrophotography #astronomy #EAA 🔭

Meine letzte Aufnahme für dieses Jahr - das Christmas Tree Cluster, inklusive Cone Nebula und Hubble's Variable Nebula.

My version of the Christmas Tree Cluster - the bright stars that make a shape of a tree. I think the whole nebulous region looks like a Christmas tree. 🎄 Merry Christmas to all on #bluesky!

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough! 🎄✨ The Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264) is home to stars just 1–5 million years young—mere cosmic babies compared to our 5-billion-year-old Sun.
