| Title |
Hot Stars in the Southern Milky Way |
| Explanation |
Hot blue stars, red glowing hydrogen gas, and dark, obscuring dust clouds are strewn through this dramatic region of the Milky Way in the southern [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990224.html ] constellation of Ara (the Altar) [ http://www.seds.org/Maps/Stars_en/Fig/ara.html ]. About 4,000 light-years from Earth, the stars at the left are young, massive, and energetic. Their intense ultraviolet [ http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/emspectrum.html ] radiation is eating away at the nearby star forming cloud complex - ionizing the hydrogen gas and producing the characteristic red "hydrogen-alpha" glow [ http://www.limber.org/trifid.html ]. At right, visible within the dark dust nebula, is small cluster of newborn stars. This beautiful color picture [ http://www.eso.org/outreach/press-rel/pr-1999/phot-21-99.html ] is a composite of images [ http://aibn47.astro.uni-bonn.de/~gallery/articles/imagecolor.html#tri ] made through blue, green, and hydrogen-alpha filters. |
