Yesterday, I captured Crescent Nebula for 25 minutes on Seestar. Post images were stacked and processed. I also tried to animate the image slightly to be even more mesmerized with these wondrous nebulas 🫠

The Crescent Nebula also cataloged as NGC 6888, Caldwell 27, or Sharpless 105 is an emission nebula in the Cygnus constellation.

It is about 5000 light-years away from Earth, is 25 light years wide, and has an apparent magnitude of 7.4.

This cosmic bubble in space sort of resembles a human brain in much clearer images from Hubble & JWT.

The Wolf-Rayet star at the center of the Crescent Nebula, designated as WR 136 (also known as HD 192163), has a surface temperature of nearly 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit (54,800 degrees Celsius) which is nearly 10 times hotter than our Sun.

The nebula that we see is formed when star’s fast-moving stellar wind collided with a stream of slower moving particles from the WR 136 several hundred thousand years ago. The collision produced a glowing nebulous shell and two shock waves traveling in opposite directions.
