Description
Cosmic Vortex at S106, enhanced.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows Sh 2-106, or S106 for short. This is a compact star forming region in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan). A newly-formed star called S106 IR is shrouded in dust at the centre of the image, and is responsible for the surrounding gas cloud�s hourglass-like shape and the turbulence visible within. Light from glowing hydrogen is colored blue in this image.
