NASA takes people on a ‘road trip’ around and outside Milky Way with 4 pics

NASA posted a series of images on Instagram that give space lovers a glimpse of the beautiful world beyond our Blue planet.

Rho Ophiuchi: Located 390 light-years away, it is the closest star-forming region to Earth. It is a relatively small and quiet stellar nursery.

Orion Nebula: This stellar nursery, 1,500 light-years away, is a tumultuous region of dust and gas.

Spiral Galaxy: “X-rays from Chandra in purple show evidence for a supermassive black hole in its center”: NASA wrote about this spiral galaxy outside the Milky Way.

MACS J0416: It is a galaxy cluster which is also “one of the largest objects in the Universe held together by gravity.”
