COSMIC MESSAGE

Stars are born in clouds of gas and dust, and their formation can be quite colorful. This image shows a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby galaxy. New stars can energize their surroundings by creating strong winds, heating gas, or eventually exploding as supernovae, enriching the interstellar medium with new elements.
