Stars, Dust, and Gas near NGC 3572
Vibrant gases and dust surround young stars in NGC 3572, near the Carina Nebula. Captured in specific colors emitted by hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, this image blends them with broadband RGB filters. The nebula spans 100 ly and is 9,000 ly away, set to disperse within a few million years.
