🕊️✨ The Seagull Nebula – A Cosmic Bird Soaring Through the Stars 🌌💫
Spread across the vast sky, the Seagull Nebula (IC 2177) is a breathtaking emission nebula that stretches its ethereal wings over the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major. This interstellar cloud of ionized hydrogen (HII region) glows as newborn stars illuminate the surrounding gas and dust.
