Ou4: The Giant Squid Nebula

NASA APOD · Alex Linde
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Giant Squid Nebula, Ou4, spans nearly three full moons in Earth's sky. Discovered in 2011, its bipolar shape is distinguished by blue emission from doubly ionized oxygen atoms. It appears surrounded by the reddish hydrogen emission region Sh2-129. One investigation suggests it is related to a triple star system.
