... This beautiful new image shows a glowing cloud of cosmic dust (called a nebula) sitting boldly against a backdrop of shining stars. To the naked eye, thick clouds like these appear empty and dark, but some are actually home to the brightest nebulae and hottest young stars in the Universe! Stars are made of gas, so it is no surprise that they are born inside thick gassy clouds. But the clouds that give birth to stars also block our view of them growing within. ...

... This image shows clearly the 3-D structure of this star formation region: a large cavity, created by the radiation pressure from new-born stars located in the brightest area of the image, lies within a huge cloud of dust and gas. Identified as a truly indepedent star cluster, NGC 1980 is associated with this well-studied star formation region, around the brightest star seen at the bottom of this image, Iota Ori. ...

The blue circle shows the X-ray error circle for the position of the XRF/GRB, the magenta circle the radio position error circle. ... As the XRF/GRB is brighter in the Chandra image than any source used in the fit (though not visible in the WIYN image) we estimate that the error in transforming its position to the optical field should be no larger than 0."18, one sigma. ...
