A Ghostly Face in Space
This new photo shows a cloud of gas and dust in space, which is called a nebula. New stars are born inside a nebula, so they are also sometimes called star-forming regions. These newborn stars are very hot and make the gas in the clouds glow brightly, which means that we can see them through telescopes.
