A compact star forming region, the cosmic Cocoon punctuates a long trail of obscuring interstellar dust clouds. Cataloged as IC 5146, the nebula is nearly 15 light-years wide, located some 4,000 light years away. Like other star forming regions, it stands out in red, glowing, hydrogen gas excited by the young, hot stars and blue, dust-reflected starlight

Have we ever thought, the beautiful butterfly has gone through various stages of life that led to a beautiful figure like today. Coming from a disgusting caterpillar and not even rarely shunned and hated by some humans ... ………… Some phases of life have been lived ... from caterpillars to cocoons, hanging on branches or leaves. He didn't care despite the intense heat and the cold night stabbing him. He remained firm to transform into a new self, a self that was full of charm, beautifully mesmerizing with his new wings and a beautiful body. Then he flew wandering around looking for a beautiful flower blossom to suck the essence of flowers and spread the eggs of his successor. …………. Humans and butterflies are both creatures created by God ... but can we humans undergo life metamorphosis like butterflies? Metamorphosis is meaningful as an extraordinary change in life. ……… .. Can we learn from butterflies? ... from caterpillars ... in hate, scorn and even shunned. Are we strong in dealing with various temptations, sorrows and loneliness in a helpless cocoon? Be patient in life and trials, go through the process as well as possible before finally being born into a new self, our true self, beautiful self and spread beauty wherever we are. We can take lessons from the lives of butterflies, that to be successful is not as easy as turning your palm ... but it needs a process, it requires perseverance, patience and determination in going through each phase, before finally reaching the peak of life ... Who can help us is ourselves, even though sometimes we need the help of friends or relatives, but all goes back to ourselves ... because God also does not change human destiny if the people themselves do not want to change it. ………… Live every phase or episode of this life with a big soul, intending to change and continue to become better like a butterfly that adorns nature and becomes an example for us humans, sure that there is always meaning and beauty in every moment of life that we go through

It's cocoon spinning time for the cecropia moths I'm rearing.
Freshly spun silk emits a pretty strong fluorescence under UV lights, and seems to fade as time goes on. This silk is just about as fresh as it gets with the central cocoon spun earlier in the day and 3 more caterpillars actively working on cocoons of their own.
UV highlights every one of the fine silk strands, revealing what a complicated mess they make. I'm not sure if there's a plan to the supporting pieces, or if they just have a blast laying it all down.
Technical notes:
-Lit with 2 UV flashlights with filters to reduce any visible light they emit.
-Unmodified camera is capturing the visible light emitted when the silk (and caterpillar knobs) are hit with UV - this is what your eyes would see.
-This is 3 exposures with the lights aimed to highlight different areas, then combined in Photoshop.
See previous pic for more info.
I cropped this especially for the C&CMP 'Rule of Thirds' competition - then discovered it was closed! Bah. Still, worth paying that kind of attention all the time, I guess..

C5146/B168 (The Cocoon Nebula)
A reflection and emission nebula involved and surrounded by dark nebulae Barnard 168 in the constellation of Cygnus (The Swan), IC5146 is also designated as an open cluster known as Collinder 470. Other designations for this object are Caldwell 19 and Sharpless 2-125. It is 4000 light years distant from Earth at a magnitude of 12.
Only 10 minutes of data. (20) 30 second exposures
The Cocoon Nebula (IC5146) is around 15 light years across and some 4,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. It is a newly developing cluster of stars, glowing in red hydrogen gas created by the young hot stars. The bright star in the centre of the nebula is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand years old.
I captured the data for this image late last year using LRGB filters on a 20" Planewave telescope in the dark skies of New Mexico via a remote observatory. This image is two hours of data integration.

This image taken at a shrine in Karachi signifies the mother and child bond. The way the child’s head and arm drape the mother’s body makes the child look safe and comfortable. The position of the head also indicates the weight of the child that the mother selflessly carries to give the child a sense of security.

some kind of moth/butterfly's cocoon?

This is IC5146, popularly known as the Cocoon Nebula with the brownish molecular nebula Barnard 168 stretching westward in the sky from the Cocoon. The Cocoon's reddish hue is caused by radiation from the nebula's central star, a 100000 year-old star approximately 4000 light years away from us. The diameter of the Cocoon is about 15 light years across.
