The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888)

Edition 01

The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888)

A massive interstellar bubble formed by the fierce, fast stellar winds from the aging Wolf-Rayet star WR 136, which is colliding with and illuminating the slower-moving gas ejected by the star earlier in its life. This collision ionizes the surrounding gas, causing it to glow brightly and creating its distinctive, shell-like appearance that resembles a glowing crescent moon or a brain.

Every image on this site started as thousands of individual frames, stacked, calibrated, and processed by hand over hours spent on a subject most people never look up long enough to see. This is a way to bring some of that sky indoors.
