Summary

Description
English: This new image from the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile reveals a cloud of hydrogen and newborn stars called Gum 41. In the middle of this little-known nebula, brilliant hot young stars emit energetic radiation that causes the surrounding hydrogen to glow with a characteristic red hue.
Español: Esta nueva imagen, obtenida por el instrumento WFI (Wide Field Imager) que se encuentra instalado en el telescopio MPG/ESO de 2,2 metros (en el Observatorio La Silla, en Chile) muestra una nube de hidrógeno llamada Gum 41. En el centro de esta poco conocida nebulosa vemos cómo las estrellas jóvenes calientes lanzan su energética radiación, haciendo que el hidrógeno de su entorno brille en esa característica tonalidad rojiza.
