Astrophotography by Richard Harris
The Crescent Nebula, also known as NGC 6888, is an emission nebula formed by the powerful stellar winds from its central star, WR 136. This Wolf-Rayet star is nearing the end of its life, shedding its outer layers and creating the beautifully complex and bright structure we see today. The interplay of glowing gases and dust creates a vivid tapestry of reds and blues, making it a favorite target for astrophotographers.
