Have you ever wondered what the center of our galaxy looks like? We don't have good pictures because there is so much dust in the way. This is an amazing false-color representation.
This beautiful nebula IC 410 is a hydrogen gas cloud of about 100 light-years across. This may be the site of ongoing star formation.
I had to look twice before I could see North America in this picture of The North America and Pelican Nebulas.
Just gorgeous.
