"What a stellar view 🌟
Located in the Milky Way about 5,900 light-years from Earth, this star nursery hosts a star about 30x the mass of our Sun (and still forming)!
Observations from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 make up this image of star-forming region IRAS 16562-3959. The image’s detailed nuance of color is the result of four separate filters. These thin slivers of highly specialized material can slide in front of the instrument’s light sensors, allowing very specific wavelengths of light to pass through with each observation. This is useful because certain wavelengths of light can tell us about the region’s composition, temperature, and density.
Multi-wavelength images like this help us gain a better understanding of how the most massive, brightest stars in our galaxy form.
