Astronomy enthusiasts are marking Nebula Week by highlighting the Cocoon Nebula, a cloud of gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. The Cocoon is notable for being both an emission and reflection nebula, meaning it glows on its own while also scattering light from nearby stars. Observers are sharing images and pointing listeners to educational content about the different types of nebulae.
Why now: Space-themed content weeks drive astronomy communities to share images and facts about featured objects like the Cocoon Nebula.
