In the Center of the Omega Nebula
Stars continue to form within the Omega Nebula's dark clouds of dust and molecular gas. This Hubble image details the region, showing dust filaments created in the atmospheres of cool giant stars and supernova debris. The red and blue hues come from glowing gas heated by radiation from nearby massive stars.
