W5: Pillars of Star Formation
Images of the star forming region W5 like those in the infrared by NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE, later NEOWISE) satellite provide clear clues with indications that massive stars near the center of empty cavities are older than stars near the edges. A likely reason for this is that the older stars in the center are actually triggering the formation of the younger edge stars. The triggered star formation occurs when hot outflowing gas compresses cooler gas into knots dense enough to gravitationally contract into stars. In the featured scientifically colored infrared image, spectacular pillars left slowly evaporating from the hot outflowing gas provide further visual clues. W5 is also known as Westerhout 5 (W5) and IC 1848.

Das Bild zeigt eine idyllische tropische Strandlandschaft. Im Vordergrund befindet sich eine große rote Ladybug mit schwarzen Punkten, die auf einem roten Beerenstrauß sitzt, umgeben von grünen Blättern. Ein kleines, blau-weißes Vogelchen steht auf dem Sand am Strand, während ein weiteres kleines Vogelchen im Hintergrund zu sehen ist. Im Hintergrund erstreckt sich ein strahlend blauer Ozean mit sanften Wellen, auf dem ein Segelboot ruht. Palmen mit grünen Blättern säumen den Strand, und am Horizont sind große, weiße Wolken zu sehen. Der Himmel ist klar und blau, und die Sonne scheint, was die Szene in ein warmes Licht taucht.

in reply to Josh Universe • • •The image depicts a stunning view of a nebula in space, captured by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The nebula is a vast cloud of gas and dust, illuminated by the light from young, hot stars. The central region of the nebula is dominated by a bright red glow, indicating the presence of ionized hydrogen gas. Surrounding this central area are intricate patterns of gas and dust, with colors ranging from deep reds to bright oranges and whites, suggesting different chemical compositions and temperatures.
The nebula is set against a backdrop of countless stars, some appearing as bright points of light, while others are fainter. The image also shows wispy structures and filaments, which are likely the result of stellar winds and radiation from nearby stars sculpting the nebula's shape. The nebula's complex structure and vibrant colors highlight the dynamic processes occurring within it, such as star formation and the dispersal of material.
