The Star Pillars of Sharpless 171
Sharpless 171, a star-forming region, is adorned with towering pillars of cold gas and dark dust. An open cluster of stars is forming here from these molecular clouds. Energetic light from young, massive stars illuminates the surrounding hydrogen gas, causing it to glow as a red emission nebula.
