Star-forming Region S106: Fulldome View | Hubble

This fulldome video is of an emission nebula in the star-forming region Sh 2-106, found in the constellation Cygnus. A massive young star at the center of the scene is responsible, in its tempestuous youth, for the wonderful, bipolar structure of dust and gas.

Distance: 3,300 light years

Note: The full dome video display format is designed for projection systems in planetariums.
