Swimming across The Lagoon Nebula | Hubble
This image of the Lagoon Nebula, captured by the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope to celebrate its 28th year in space back in 2018, shows colorful clouds of gas and dust of this star-formation region in incredible detail.
The image reveals a fantastic landscape of ridges, cavities, and mountains of gas and dust. This dust-and-gas landscape is being sculpted by powerful ultraviolet radiation and hurricane-like stellar winds unleashed by a young star. Located at the center of the image, the star, known as Herschel 36, is about 200,000 times brighter than our Sun.
