The Wings of the Seagull Nebula
The shining stars and swirls of glowing gas in this picture make up part of the beautiful Seagull Nebula. This enormous bird-shaped object is made up of three large clouds of gas: the head and the two wings. This picture actually shows just a small part of the nebula, can you guess which part? It's the wings! Did you get it right?
