Firestorm of Star Birth Seen in a Local Galaxy
This festively colorful nebula, called NGC 604, is one of thelargest known seething cauldrons of star birth in a nearbygalaxy. NGC 604 is similar to familiar star-birth regions in our Milky Way galaxy, such as the Orion Nebula, but it is vastly larger in extent and contains many more recently formed stars.
