Day 24 of the 2012 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar, one of 25 photos (eventually). A pair of one-half light-year long interstellar ‘twisters’ — eerie funnels and twisted-rope structures - in the heart of the Lagoon Nebula (M8) which lies 5,000 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. (A. Caulet ST-ECF, ESA, and NASA)
