  6. πŸ“Έ The Seagull Nebula
    Shaped like a bird in flight, the Seagull Nebula spans over 200 light-years near Sirius in Canis Major. IC 2177 forms the head, while surrounding clouds glow with hydrogen gas. A bluish arc is a bow shock from the runaway star FN Canis Majoris.

  11. This #weekend you can catch the planets #Saturn and #Jupiter in the sky after sunset. Saturn will set during the night so you'll want to go out earlier to catch it in the West.

    Notice Jupiter is up so high it can be seen in the screenshot from the East and the one from the West. Look UP to find Jupiter this weekend.

    The winter constellations #Orion #Taurus and #CanisMajor are visible in the East along with the bright star cluster The Pleiades (aka the seven sisters)
