The Great Nebula in Orion is an immense nearby starbirth region. Glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1500 light-years away. In the image, faint wisps and sheets of dust and gas are particularly evident. [url=http://antwrp.gsf...

This reflection nebula is associated with the bright star Rigel in the constellation Orion.
The Witch Head Nebula, also known as IC 2118, glows primarily by light reflected from bright star Rigel, located just off the upper right edge of the full image. Fine dust in the nebula reflects the light. T...

The magnetic fields surrounding a young star have been detected for the first time.
This discovery confirms models of how such stars grow.
Theoretical models predict that the magnetic fields in a dusty disc surrounding a young star will slow the disc's rotation, and allow dust to fall onto the s...

Until the sensitive infrared eyes of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope recently spotted one of these jets around a nearby neutron star, or super-dense dead star, b...
