Starbirth in the Trifid Nebula
The Trifid Nebula is a region where tremendous pillars of gas and dust are being sculpted. A young, hot star at the center, just above and to the right in this image, illuminates and shapes its surroundings. Its powerful light and winds sweep away gas, influencing the formation of other stars.
