“Simeis 188 in Stars, Dust and Gas” is copyrighted by Dieter Willasch (Astro-Cabinet). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteWhen stars form, it's a chaotic process. Simeis 188 is a star-forming region with a bright cloud arc called NGC 6559. It contains red hydrogen emission nebulae, blue dust reflection nebulae, and dark dust absorption nebulae. Massive stars form first, and their light and winds sculpt their birthplace before they explode.
