    Canis Major Constellation
    The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant Canis Major constellation.

    Hourglass Nebula
    The Hourglass Nebula, 8,000 light years away, has a
    pinched-in-the-middle look because the winds that shape it
    are weaker at the center.

    Cone Nebula
    In sixth place is the
    Cone Nebula.
    The part pictured
    here is 2.5 light years
    in length which is the
    equivalent of 23 million
    return trips to the Moon.

    Starry Night
    In 8th place is Starry Night,
    so named because it reminded astronomers of the
    Van Gogh painting.
    It is a halo of light around
    a star in the Milky Way
