Hi,
This is an image of NGC 6357, also known as the Lobster Nebula, taken with
narrowband filters and processed using the Hubble palette. Although known as
the Lobster nebula, the FOV of this image is too small to see then entire
nebula, so finding the lobster will be difficult without pharmaceuticals 😊.
It lies about 8,000 light years away in the constellation Scorpius. This
nebula is home to open star cluster Pismis 24, which has some of the most
unusually bright and massive stars in the galaxy. The intricate patterns are
caused by complex interactions between interstellar winds, radiation
pressures, magnetic fields, and gravity.
Comments and suggestions appreciated.
