The Cave Nebula in Infrared from Spitzer

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Cave Nebula, cataloged as Sh2-155, is a star-forming region glowing brightly in infrared. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope looked into this optically dark region in four colors of infrared light. The red glow around the Cave's entrance comes from dust heated by bright young stars. The image reveals details of internal pillars of gas and dust, as well as an illuminating star cluster.
