Curtains of gas and dust dramatically open here to reveal the inner region of this star-forming region. Unceremoniously named, bright star SAO 152320 shines with intense light in the center of this field. Clouds of gas glow strongly and dust shrinks quickly under its radiative prowess. This vista lies some 4000 light years away towards the constellation of Monoceros. This is a portion of a much larger nebula called Gum 1. This image was taken as part of Advanced Observing Program (AOP) program at Kitt Peak Visitor Center during 2014.
