Amazing ‘War and Peace’ Nebula Picture Worth 1,000 Words

Hot young stars are ablaze against a backdrop of sweeping gas clouds in a new photo of a spectacular nebula nicknamed the ‘War and Peace.’

The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope captured a dramatic view of the nebula’s shimmering clouds of gas and its intriguing dust formations that are carved by ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from newborn stars. These observations make up the most detailed image taken to date of the stunning nebula, ESO officials said in a statement.
