Many of the celestial photographs in this app feature colorful cloud-like formations called nebulae. These formations are actually clouds of dust and gas, which are the same material that stars are made of! A nebula can form from supernova explosions or as low-mass stars reach their final stages after evolving into a red giant. The Earth’s own sun will one day create a nebula as it transforms into its final form as a white dwarf. Nebulae are beautiful and make the perfect background to keep you pondering the wonder of the universe every day!
