The Stars of Cepheus
Seen by Spitzer
This image was taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which sees the universe in infrared light.
Cepheus C
- Stars are starting to form in this dark vein of dust and gas.
V374 Ceph
- This is most likely a star surrounded by a disk of dark, dusty material.
Young Nebula
- New stars are illuminating this dense cloud of gas and dust.
Runaway star
- The star creates a shock wave as it plows through gas and dust.
Star Cluster
- Massive stars illuminate this dusty region.
Cepheus B
- This cluster of stars formed from the same clump of gas and dust.
