COSMIC MESSAGE
The Swan Nebula, also known as M17, is a region of active star formation. It contains hot, red-glowing gas, dark lanes of dust, and bright young stars. Some of the visible stars have unusual colors, hypothesized to be very young stars still shrouded by the gas cloud that formed them. The Swan Nebula is quite large, containing roughly 1,000 times the mass of our Sun.
