The ionized gas glows in visible light

astronomers continue tracking shifting weather patterns and storms

bright feature at the top of the image is the well-known Orion Nebula (Messier 42)

The Antennae Galaxies (also known as NGC 4038 and 4039) are a pair of distorted colliding spiral galaxies about 70 million light-years away

Herschel collected the infrared light given out by dust. The bright smudges are dusty cocoons containing massive embryonic stars, which will grow up to 10 times the mass of our Sun. The small spots near the center of the image are lower mass stellar
