COSMIC MESSAGE

In the heart of NGC 6559, bright gas and dark dust fill the space between stars. The nebula's diffuse red glow comes from hydrogen gas, ionized by nearby stars. As protons and electrons recombine, they emit specific colors, including red. Small dust particles reflect blue starlight, creating the blue reflection nebulosity seen in this region.
