NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

COSMIC MESSAGE

Star formation can be very colorful. This cosmic portrait features glowing gas and dark dust near some recently formed stars of NGC 3572. This little-studied star cluster is near the Carina Nebula. Stars from NGC 3572 are visible near the bottom of the image. The expansive gas cloud above is likely what remains of their formation nebula.
