Description

The Seagull Nebula is an emission nebula located in the constellation Canis Major. It's shaped like a seagull in flight and is a region of active star formation. Thors Helmet Nebula, on the other hand, is an emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major as well. Its distinctive shape resembles a helmet, and it's illuminated by a central Wolf-Rayet star. Both nebulae showcase the beauty of cosmic gas and dust clouds where new stars are born.
