This image by astronomer Gary Imm shows the emission nebula Sh2-251. It is a very faint and rarely photographed HII region made up of small, intertwined filaments. It is located in the direction of the Taurus constellation, very close to the border with the Orion constellation, and lies at a distance of.....

"The ideal of a dark and quiet sky is one many astronomers fight to protect. ... Preservation of the night sky across the electromagnetic spectrum is an extension of the stewardship of a human environment that now goes beyond our planet and reaches toward the cosmic ocean. It is also key to the future of astronomical discoveries."
