The bright star in the top right corner of this picture is called Markab. This star is inside of the constellation Pegasus. The blue dots in this scene are called Blue Reflection Nebulae. The area of the universe depicted in this picture is known to be full of molecular clouds.
It is very interesting how the clouds depicted in the image are a hue of purple, yet the apparent star light is seemingly mostly blue. Maybe this has something to do with the equipment used to capture this image?
ReplyDeleteWow this picture is awesome. I wonder how molecular clouds are formed.
