“Stars and Dust in the Pacman Nebula” is copyrighted by Malcolm Loro. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteStars can carve intricate shapes from the dense, dark molecular clouds where they form. High-energy light and fast stellar winds are the tools they use. The heat generated by these stars evaporates the dark dust and causes ambient hydrogen gas to glow. Pictured here, a new open cluster of stars, IC 1590, is forming within the Pacman Nebula.
