This is a nebula near our Milky Way galaxy, about 163,000 light-years from Earth.
The larger group is called NGC 2014 and the smaller group is called NGC 2020. However, astronomers prefer to call this picture a "cosmic coral reef" because of its resemblance.

Wolf-Rayet 124 is a star that shows the death of a massive star. It is about 15,000 light-years from Earth and has a mass 30 times that of the Sun. The surrounding nebula is composed of random ejections of material from the aging star and dust produced in the ensuing turbulence.

The Crab Nebula is active due to the high energy release of the pulsar, and its interior can change over a few days. The equatorial winds impact the surrounding area, forming a changing shock wave that eventually dissipates into the nebula.

To understand the supernova remnant, almost all telescopes are pointed at the Crab Nebula. Only NASA's IXPE studies X-ray polarization, a measure of the electromagnetic field. The Crab Nebula is bright in X-rays, and polarization reveals the direction and order of the magnetic field.

The Cartwheel Galaxy formed a ring-shaped structure due to the high-speed collision of small galaxies. The outer ring expanded, the inner ring gave birth to star clusters, and the outer ring promoted the birth of stars. The time of the collision is uncertain.
