NGC 6537 (Red Spider Nebula) | Milky Way Wall Art Size:COSMIC (48 X 32) reflecting changes in Saturn's winter

reflecting changes in Saturn's winter hemisphere

The interaction of the ejected material and the low-density interstellar material swept up by the shockwave forms the distinctive veil-like structure seen in this image

Venus is a dim world of intense heat and volcanic activity

The Veil Nebula lies around 2

NGC 6537 (Red Spider Nebula) | Milky Way Wall Art Size:COSMIC (48 X 32) reflecting changes in Saturn's winterHuge waves are sculpted in this two lobed nebula some 3000 light years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. This warm planetary nebula harbours one of the hottest stars known and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometres high. The waves are caused by supersonic shocks, formed when the local gas is compressed and heated in front of the rapidly expanding lobes. The atoms caught in the shock emit the spectacular radiation seen
