Description
This striking star formation region is mapped in infrared light by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
One of multitudes of star-forming nebulas scattered across the sky it's tucked away behind a veil of dust that blocks our view in visible light. That obscuring veil fades away under Spitzer's infrared gaze revealing a collection of young stars bursting out of the dusty gas clouds in which they formed. Astronomers identify this area only by a collection of catalog numbers like IRAS 15541-5349.
This picture was taken with Spitzer's InfraRed Array Camera, as part of the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) project. It is a four-color composite, in which light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns is blue; 4.5-micron light is green; 5.8-micron light is orange; and 8-micron light is red. Dust is red, hot gas is green, and white is where gas and dust intermingle. Foreground and background stars appear scattered through the image.
I have given this high resolution deep space Hubble photograph a special fine art treatment that turns an ordinary telescope image into a breathtaking, high quality, fine art photograph.
