a small nearby galaxy that orbits our galaxy

is an ideal arena in which to study the interactions between these young stars and their parent molecular clouds

Sharpless 29 Wall Art Size:Large (24 x 24) with heavier stars “burning” atThe OmegaCAM imager on ESOs VLT Survey Telescope has captured this glittering view of the stellar nursery called Sharpless 29. Many astronomical phenomena can be seen in this giant image, including cosmic dust and gas clouds that reflect, absorb, and re emit the light of hot young stars within the nebula. Credit: ESO
