 | NGC 3603 is a bustling region of star birth Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have observed a multitude
of new stars approximately 20,000 light-years from Earth. The stars — located
in the Carina spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy — were born in a burst of star
formation about two million years ago. Photo Platform: Chandra

 | How to Become a Star (02b/01) This image is a false-colour composite based on a visible (here rendered as
blue), a near-infrared (green) and an infrared (red) image. Since the light
from stars behind the cloud is only visible at the longest (infrared)
wavelengths, they appear red. Photo Platform: ESO

 | How to Become a Star (02a/01) This image shows a colour composite of visible and near-infrared images of the
dark cloud Barnard 68. It was obtained with the 8.2-m VLT ANTU telescope and
the multimode FORS1 instrument in March 1999. At these wavelengths, the small
cloud is completely opaque because of the obscuring effect of dust particles
in its interior. Photo Platform: ESO

 | VLA's Sharpened Vision Shows Details of Still-Forming Star Using a new observing capability of the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope,
astronomers have discovered a solar-system-sized disk of gas and dust feeding material onto a young star with 8 to 10 times
the mass of the Sun. Photo Platform: VLA

 | "X" Marks the Spot: Hubble Sees the Glow of Star Formation in a Neighbor Galaxy The saying "X" marks the spot holds true in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image where Hubble-X marks the
location of a dramatic burst of star formation, very much like the Orion Nebula in our Milky Way galaxy, but on a vastly
greater scale. Photo Platform: Hubble

 | Hubble Sees Changes in Gas Shell Around Nova Cygni 1992 The European Space Agency's ESA Faint Object Camera utilizing the corrective optics provided by NASA's COSTAR
(Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement), has given astronomers their best look yet at a rapidly ballooning
bubble of gas blasted off a star. Photo Platform: Hubble

 | Hubble Space Telescope Images of a Bright Star in the large Magellanic Cloud This Wide Field and Planetary Camera's (WFPC-2) image collects all the light from the central star into sharp focus because
the telescope's spherical aberration is corrected by the new camera's optics. A large number of fainter stars also become
visible. Photo Platform: Hubble
