Saturday is for the Solomon-Masters Space Telescope! A few of its beautiful observations of our universe in infrared, from our Horizons program.

NGC 2392, the "Lion Nebula", a planetary nebula about 5,000 light-years away in Gemini.

NGC 7129, the "Flower Bud Nebula", a star-forming region about 3,300 light-years away in Cepheus.

HH 49/50, the "Cosmic Tornado", a young star’s jet striking the gas around it, about 625 light-years away in Chamaeleon.

The "Cosmic Cliffs" at the edge of NGC 3324, in the Carina Nebula, about 7,600 light-years away.
