Look up to the sky this July and find some of the most famous deep sky objects and a bounty of star clusters! These dense groups of stars can contain hundreds to millions of stars, held together by their gravitational attraction. There are two types of clusters: globular clusters, which are dense and typically contain thousands or many more stars, and open clusters, which are more spread out and contain perhaps a few hundred stars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Unistellar eVscope<\/a> or eQuinox<\/a> 2, you can see all of the objects below, broken down into easily identifiable targets and those that may take a little more time to reveal their beauty. Can you find them all?<\/span><\/p>\n

Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Just in time for US and French independence days, the Fireworks galaxy is in a great position to observe this July. This galaxy has been home to eight observed supernovas in the last 100 years, making its name apt indeed. View this face-on spiral galaxy from the Northern Hemisphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

M92<\/h3>\n

A globular cluster in the constellation of Hercules that\u2019s visible from both hemispheres, M92 is one of the brightest star clusters in our own galaxy. That bright glow contains more than 300,000 stars, all contained in a space just 100 light years wide!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You can find this famous nebula from both hemispheres. It contains the object of one of the most famous astrophotography images of all time: Hubble\u2019s image of the \u201c<\/span>Pillars of Creation<\/span><\/a>.\u201d These huge towers of gas and dust are four to five light-years across.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ring Nebula (M57)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Formed by hot gas blowing from a white dwarf, the dead core of a Sun-like star, the Ring Nebula is an iconic target for stargazers. <\/span>More recent observations<\/span><\/a> from Hubble revealed the ring is actually formed by a football-shaped cloud of gas seen end-on from Earth.

Wild Duck Cluster (M11)<\/b><\/h3>\n

This star cluster contains almost 3,000 stars, making it one of the densest open clusters. Though it can be seen with the naked eye, peer through a telescope to see the roughly V-shaped configuration of the cluster\u2019s brightest stars which give it its name.

Western Veil (C34)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Also called the Witch\u2019s Broom Nebula, this celestial sight is part of a larger supernova remnant called the Veil Nebula. This particular portion contains thin filaments of gas spread out into a long structure resembling a broom, hence the name! Note the foreground star 52 Cygni, not part of the nebula, in the frame as well. This nebula can be seen from both hemispheres, but will be low on the horizon in southern latitudes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Astronomers combined several Hubble exposures to assemble the wider view. The towering pillars are about 5 light-years tall. The dark, finger-like feature at bottom right may be a smaller version of the giant pillars. The new image was taken with Hubble's versatile and sharp-eyed Wide Field Camera 3. The pillars are bathed in the blistering ultraviolet light from a grouping of young, massive stars located off the top of the image. Streamers of gas can be seen bleeding off the pillars as the intense radiation heats and evaporates it into space. Denser regions of the pillars are shadowing material beneath them from the powerful radiation. Stars are being born deep inside the pillars, which are made of cold hydrogen gas laced with dust. The pillars are part of a small region of the Eagle Nebula, a vast star-forming region 6,500 light-years from Earth. The colors in the image highlight emission from several chemical elements. Oxygen emission is blue, sulfur is orange, and hydrogen and nitrogen are green.

Astronomers combined several Hubble exposures to assemble the wider view. The towering pillars are about 5 light-years tall. The dark, finger-like feature at bottom right may be a smaller version of the giant pillars. The new image was taken with Hubble's versatile and sharp-eyed Wide Field Camera 3. The pillars are bathed in the blistering ultraviolet light from a grouping of young, massive stars located off the top of the image. Streamers of gas can be seen bleeding off the pillars as the intense radiation heats and evaporates it into space. Denser regions of the pillars are shadowing material beneath them from the powerful radiation. Stars are being born deep inside the pillars, which are made of cold hydrogen gas laced with dust. The pillars are part of a small region of the Eagle Nebula, a vast star-forming region 6,500 light-years from Earth. The colors in the image highlight emission from several chemical elements. Oxygen emission is blue, sulfur is orange, and hydrogen and nitrogen are green.
