This eerie image of the Swan Nebula is illuminated by around three dozen huge, hot baby stars burning brightly and reflecting off of dust from collapsed stars. The wind from the active star forming has blown swirling shapes into the dust, which will become the fodder for more new stars. Also known as the Omega Nebula or the Lobster Nebula, this star-forming region is around 5,500 light years from Earth and is one of the biggest in the Milky Way, stretching 15 light years across. It became active just a few million years ago, making it one of the galaxy’s newest nurseries. Zoom
