Description
Hubble Space Telescope Image: Lagoon Nebula
This NASA / ESA image is in the public domain, I carefully enhanced it with a special artistic treatment. Looks better, can be printed in large sizes and the colors pop more than in the original image. It will look amazing as large print, canvas print, metal or acrylic print on your wall. Bring the universe in your home or office.
To celebrate its 28th anniversary in space the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope took this amazing and colourful image of the Lagoon Nebula. The whole nebula, about 4000 light-years away, is an incredible 55 light-years wide and 20 light-years tall. This image shows only a small part of this turbulent star-formation region, about four light-years across. This stunning nebula was first catalogued in 1654 by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Hodierna, who sought to record nebulous objects in the night sky so they would not be mistaken for comets. Since Hodierna’s observations, the Lagoon Nebula has been photographed and analysed by many telescopes and astronomers all over the world. The observations were taken by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 between 12 February and 18 February 2018.
