Yes, how similar they are! Except one of these nebulas is full of massive young stars, and the other just contains one burnt-out blisteringly hot remnant of a medium-mass star.

Beautiful pictures Ann thank you.
Seems to me that the names we have chosen to give to many of the wonders in the heavens lend little justice towards just how spectacular they really are but then again I suppose there will ever be any words capable nor worthy of what I feel inside looking upon each.
But then on the bright side perhaps, Nebula, at least there's is one word left that no auto manufacturing company has used to name some car
:ssmile:
I've come to the conclusion that when i said i wanted to be somebody when i grew up i probably should have been more specific

Ann, you are right - the look very similar, but still outstanding! I will never stop admiring the beauty of Nebulas! My favorites are: The Ring Nebula, Cat's Eye Nebula , the Helix Nebula :ssmile:
