Explanation: In the depths of the
dark clouds of
dust and
molecular gas known as the
Omega Nebula, stars continue to form. The
above image from the
Hubble Space Telescope's
Advanced Camera for Surveys shows exquisite detail in the
famous star-forming region. The dark dust filaments that lace the center of
Omega Nebula were created in the atmospheres of cool
giant stars and in the debris from
supernova explosions. The red and blue hues arise from
glowing gas heated by the radiation of massive nearby stars. The points of light are the
young stars themselves, some brighter than 100 Suns.
Dark globules mark even
younger systems, clouds of gas and dust just now condensing to form
stars and
planets. The
Omega Nebula lies about 5000
light years away toward the
constellation of
Sagittarius. The region shown spans about 3000 times the diameter of
our Solar System.
