Until the last creepy look (^-^)V
Glowing Hydrogen Highlights Cat’s Paw Nebula
The space photo combines images taken with standard red, green and blue filters with those taken through a special filter designed to capture the red light of the hot gas. It’s a substantially more detailed and beautiful image than had been previously available. (See a previous version below.)
The Nebula, also known as NGC 6334, is huge cloud of gas and dust about 5,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius. Fifty light-years across, the Cat’s Paw is a very active star-forming region. The whole area could contain tens of thousands of stars, including many newly ignited blue stars.
Extra large images are available at the ESO’s website.

This is Hubble’s “Mystic Mountain” image, as seen by infrared cameras. Infrared light penetrates clouds of gas and dust, giving us this inside view of the nebula.
LMAO!!
