PIX4620190: The Omega nebula (M17) seen in infrared - M17 nebula in infrared - The Omega nebula (M17) seen in infrared by the Spitzer space telescope. M17 is a star-forming region about 6000 light years ago in the constellation Sagittarius. In the center of the nebula is a group of massive stars. The dust appears in red, the hot gas in green, the regions or this gas and the dust mixes in white. Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured an infrared view of the star - making cloud called M17, or the Swan nebula. The cloud, located about 6,000 light - years away in the constellation Sagittarius, is dominated by a central group of massive stars - - the most massive stars in the region. These central stars give off intense flows of expanding gas, which rush like rivers against dense piles of material, carving out the deep pocket at center of the picture. Winds from the region's other massive stars push back against these oncoming rivers, creating bow shocks like those that pile up in front of speeding boats. Three of these bow shocks are nestled in the upper left side of the central cavity, but are difficult to spot in this view. They are composed of compressed gas in addition to dust that glows at infrared wavelengths Spitzer can see. The smiley - shaped bow shocks curve away from the stellar winds of the central massive stars. This picture was taken with Spitzer's infrared array camera. It is a four - color composite, in which light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns is blue; 4.5 - micron light is green; 5.8 - micron light is orange; and 8 - micron light is red. Dust is red, hot gas is green and white is where gas and dust intermingle. Foreground and background stars appear scattered through the image / Bridgeman Images
