Swan and Eagle nebulae, optical image. These are both emisison nebulae, clouds of gas and dust glowing red as the hydrogen gas is ionised by radiation from hot young stars within them. The Swan Nebula (M17, upper left) is located in the constellation of Sagittarius and is around 6000 light years from Earth. The Eagle Nebula (M16, lower right) lies around 7000 light years from Earth in the constellation Serpens. This image includes a filter for the light from hydrogen (H-alpha) ions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ethereal beauty of the Swan and Eagle nebulae, two emission nebulae located thousands of light years away from Earth. Illuminated by the ionization of hydrogen gas caused by radiation emitted from young, scorching stars within them, these clouds of gas and dust glow a mesmerizing shade of red. The Swan Nebula (M17) graces the upper left corner of this image, residing in the constellation Sagittarius. Situated approximately 6000 light years away from our planet, it serves as a captivating reminder of the vastness and wonder that exists beyond our own celestial neighborhood. In contrast, nestled in the lower right portion lies the Eagle Nebula (M16), found in Serpens constellation. Positioned roughly 7000 light years distant from Earth, its presence adds another layer to this cosmic masterpiece. To capture this breathtaking scene, an optical filter for hydrogen ions was employed during observation. This allowed for enhanced visibility and emphasis on their characteristic red hue. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring photograph print provided by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe but also how small we truly are amidst its grandeur. Let your imagination soar among these celestial wonders as you explore the depths of space through this remarkable piece.
