The universe around us is made up of myriad things. Dust, ice and gases all combine to produce a stunning array of colour and form. The view out of our own home galaxy, the Milky Way, is a beautiful example of that: rich in the stunning red of Hydrogen-Alpha (H_), the vibrant teal of Oxygen-III (O III), and the rusty yellow of Sulphur-II (SII). These different gases each emit light at a specific wavelength, and allow us to observe the composition of nebulae and stars from afar, giving us a greater understanding of how areas of the universe may have formed.
