This image is released as part of the Early Release Observations from ESA\u2019s Euclid space mission. All data from these initial observations are made public on 23 May 2024 \u2013 including a handful of unprecedented new views of the nearby Universe, this being one.<\/p>\n
This image is a smaller, close-up cutout from a larger frame featuring Messier 78, a vibrant nursery of star formation enveloped in a shroud of interstellar dust. Messier 78 lies out of the top of the frame. This image shows the densest part of the molecular cloud complex and a region with ongoing star formation.<\/p>\n
[Image description<\/u>: A dark orange filamentary structure seems to enclose stars. Centrally, three bright star-forming regions shine brightly through the orange veil in a traffic-light like formation. The background is dark stippled with stars and galaxies ranging from small bright dots to starry shapes.]<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
