This beautiful image of the Trifid Nebula, assembled by Rob Gendler, shows lanes of dark dust trisecting the glowing gas. This is a region of new star formation some 9000 lightyears away.

Another beautiful image, processed by master astro-photographer Robert Gendler from #Hubble and ESO data. Barred spiral NGC 2442, nicknamed the Meathook Galaxy, is roughly 50 million lightyears away.

We see a spiral galaxy of stars with a big bar of stars across the center and two giant spiral arms of star coming off the ends of the bar. It is nicknamed the Meathook Galaxy, because it resembles a giant meathook.

#Hubble telescope image: NGC3350, a spiral galaxy, 40 million lightyears away. The bright central star is actually in our own Milky Way, just 10,000 LY away. It's a chance superposition.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 5330, with clear spiral arms. It seems to have a bright star near its center, but that star is actually in our own Milky Way, much closer to us. It's a chance alignment.
