At the Edge of NGC 2174
Near the edge of NGC 2174, a star-forming region 6,400 light-years away in Orion, are these mountainous clouds of gas and dust. Winds and radiation from newborn stars carved these shapes. Though star formation continues within these cosmic clouds, they will likely disperse as the stars mature.
