The Sombrero Galaxy is one of the most unusual looking barred spiral galaxies visible from Earth. Its bright nucleus, large central bulge and spiral arms threaded through with a thick dust lane make it look a little like a hat from Mexico. The dust lane is a ring that circles the bulge of the galaxy, and it is rich with gas, dust, and hydrogen gas. Source: Space-Facts.

Barnard 150 (B150) dark nebula, also known as the Sea Horse Nebula, is a type of interstellar cloud that is extremely dense that it blocks the light from the background emission or reflection nebula making it block out background stars. The absence of the light is caused by interstellar dust grains located in the coldest, densest parts of larger molecular clouds.

Here is the Cat’s Eye Nebula (aka NGC 6543) taken from Hubble. It is one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen. Planetary nebulae form when Sun-like stars gently eject their outer gaseous layers, creating amazing and confounding shapes as seen in the image.
