Spooky Star Forming Region DR 6
How could stars form such a spooky shape as a human skull? The complex process of star formation creates nebulas of many shapes and sizes. It is human perception that identifies the skull shape in DR 6. The large, nearly empty cavities that resemble the skull's eyes and mouth are carved by strong stellar winds and energetic light from about ten bright young stars in the nebula's central "nose."
