This region, about 10,000 lightyears distant, shows hundreds to thousands of new-born stars, still enveloped in their glowing cloud of hydrogen gas. For another image, see this APOD taken in 2010. This image was taken as part of Advanced Observing Program (AOP) program during 2014 at Kitt Peak Visitor Center.
