Subj : Daily APOD Report To : All From : Ben Ritchey Date : Tue May 28 2019 07:15:47 Astronomy Picture of the Day Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! [1] Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2019 May 28 [2] Stars, Dust, and Gas near NGC 3572 Image Credit & Copyright: Andrew Campbell [3] Explanation: Star formation can be colorful. This chromatic cosmic portrait [4] features glowing gas and dark dust near some recently formed stars of NGC 3572 [5] , a little-studied star cluster near the Carina Nebula [6] . Stars from NGC 3572 are visible near the bottom of the image, while the expansive gas cloud above is likely what remains of their formation nebula. The image [7] 's striking hues were created by featuring specific colors emitted by hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, and blending them [8] with images recorded through broadband filters in red, green, and blue. This nebula near NGC 3572 spans about 100 light year [9] s and lies about 9,000 light years away toward [10] the southern constellation of the Ship's Keel ( Carina [11] ). Within a few million years the pictured gas will likely disperse, while gravitational encounters [12] will likely disperse the cluster stars over about a billion years.
