2024年8月25日 · The Hubble observations were taken to develop a better understanding of protostellar evolution, the early developmental stages in a star’s life. This star chart for M78 represents the view from mid-northern latitudes for the given month and time.

Messier 78 or M78, also known as NGC 2068, is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his catalog of comet -like objects that same year. [4] M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula of a group of nebulae that includes NGC 2064, NGC 2067 and NGC 2071.

2025年1月16日 · Hubble captured the dark dust lanes and bright, young, blue stars in the spiral galaxy, Messier 63. Hubble imaged 87 of the 110 objects in Charles Messier's catalog. Hubble resolves exquisite detail and individual stars in the globular cluster, Messier 15.

2023年8月9日 · This star chart for M78 represents the view from mid-northern latitudes for the given month and time.

2024年5月23日 · This breathtaking image features Messier 78 (the central and brightest region), a vibrant nursery of star formation enveloped in a shroud of interstellar dust. This image is unprecedented – it is the first shot of this young star-forming region at this width and depth.

2024年12月30日 · Late last night I concluded gathering eight hours of LRGB data of the reflection nebulae M-78, NGC-2071 and NGC-2064 from my Bortle 8 driveway. Also in the frame are the dark nebula LDN-1627 Bernes 106 and HH-24. The elusive MeNeil's Nebula does not appear in the image though.

2015年8月1日 · M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula in the sky. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.3 and lies at an approximate distance of 1,600 light years from Earth. It has the designation NGC 2068 in the New General Catalogue. Messier 78 occupies an area of 8 by 6 arc minutes, which corresponds to a linear diameter of about 10 light years.

2021年1月21日 · One of the brightest, M78, is centered in this colorful, wide field view, covering an area north of Orion’s belt. At a distance of about 1,500 light-years, the bluish reflection nebula is around 5 light-years across.

The nebula Messier 78 (also known as M 78 or NGC 2068) is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his catalog of ...

2023年11月21日 · Messier 78 is a dark diffuse reflection nebula in the constellation of the hunter, Orion. It is very close to Messier 42 (The Orion Nebula) and IC 434 (The Horsehead Nebula). M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection in the night sky and looks great when photographed with a telescope, but can also be captured wide-field using a camera and lens.
