NASA. LARGE FORMAT. This exceptional photograph of Deep Space reveals what astonomists call a "snake" visible in the upper left of the image and a stormy cosmic environment surrounding it. This winding object is actually the core of a thick sooty cloud large enough to engulf dozens of solar systems. In fact, astronomers say the "belly of the snake" could be home to beastly stars in the process of forming. The galactic caterpillar to the right of the snake is another thick cloudy core, in which other massive gestating stars could be hiding. The colored regions below the two cloud cores are less dense clouds, in which the dust has been heated by starlight and glows in the infrared. The yellow and orange dots in the image are developing monster stars; the red star on the "belly" of the snake is 20 to 50 times more massive than our sun. The blue dots are foreground stars. The red ball in the lower left is a "supernova remnant," the remains of a massive star that died in a fiery explosion. 2006.Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering in the margin on the front. 40,6 X 40,6CM with margins.
