The Mountains of NGC 2174

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

These mountainous clouds of gas and dust are near the edge of NGC 2174, a star-forming region in Orion, 6,400 light-years away. Winds and radiation from newborn stars carved these shapes. Star formation continues within these dusty clouds, but the energetic young stars will likely disperse them.
