IC 1795: The Fishhead Nebula

Explanation: To some, this nebula looks like the head of a fish. However, this colorful cosmic portrait really features glowing gas and obscuring dust clouds in IC 1795, a star forming region in the northern constellation Cassiopeia. The nebula's colors were created by adopting the Hubble color palette for mapping narrow emission from oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur atoms to blue, green and red colors, and further blending the data with images of the region recorded through broadband filters. Not far on the sky from the famous Double Star Cluster in Perseus, IC 1795 is itself located next to IC 1805, the Heart Nebula, as part of a complex of star forming regions that lie at the edge of a large molecular cloud. Located just over 6,000 light-years away, the larger star forming complex sprawls along the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way Galaxy. At that distance, this picture would span about 70 light-years across IC 1795.

Turning The Tables: 8 Women Who Invented American Popular Music

The sounds you love today wouldn't exist if not for these groundbreaking women. Dive deep into their art, lives and legacies.
NPR Music
Chelsea Beck for NPR
When NPR Music first launched Turning the Tables in 2017, we aimed to shift the narrative of music history and reshape the way we think about popular music by putting women at the forefront, starting with our list of the 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women. Last year’s 21st-century edition shifted the focus on a new generation of artists who are shaping the sound of our current moment.

Today, we launched our third season of Turning the Tables, which dares to suggest a new hall of fame whose members played integral roles in inventing blues, country, gospel, jazz, rock and roll and salsa. This season pays homage to the founding mothers of music: Bessie Smith, Maybelle Carter, Billie Holiday, Marian Anderson, Ella Fitzgerald, Mary Lou Williams, Celia Cruz and Rosetta Tharpe.

Beginning today and continuing throughout the next eight weeks, we’ll share annotated playlists, videos, essays, stories on air and online, plus collaborations with NPR podcasts and public radio shows that explore these women’s lives, legacies and impacts. These wide-ranging projects will paint a full picture of the groundbreaking artists you might not know as well as you should, and tell lesser-known stories about these American icons. In doing so, we want to spark a conversation about how we define greatness and whose legacies matter. “History is an ecosystem,” writes Ann Powers, co-creator of Turning the Tables in this year’s opening essay. “It needs to be nurtured and protected. With this year’s version of Turning the Tables, we hope to entice you to enter the spheres created by eight extraordinary women, to be enriched by their gifts and inspired by their stories.” You can follow along by visiting npr.org/turningthetables, where we’ll be sharing new stories nearly every day.

Star Forming Region NGC 3582 without Stars

Explanation: What's happening in the Statue of Liberty nebula? Bright stars and interesting molecules are forming and being liberated. The complex nebula resides in the star forming region called RCW 57, and besides the iconic monument, to some looks like a flying superhero or a weeping angel. By digitally removing the stars, this image showcases dense knots of dark interstellar dust, fields of glowing hydrogen gas ionized by these stars, and great loops of gas expelled by dying stars. A detailed study of NGC 3576, also known as NGC 3582 and NGC 3584, uncovered at least 33 massive stars in the end stages of formation, and the clear presence of the complex carbon molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are thought to be created in the cooling gas of star forming regions, and their development in the Sun's formation nebula five billion years ago may have been an important step in the development of life on Earth.
