The Rho Ophiuchi nebula seen in infrared - Rho Ophiuchi in infrared - This coloree...

IMAGE number
PIX4621533
Image title
The Rho Ophiuchi nebula seen in infrared - Rho Ophiuchi in infrared - This coloree nebula represents part of a very vast molecular cloud, the Ophiuchus cloud. This star-forming region is about 520 years old - light. The triple star Rho Ophiuchus is located in the top center of the image. Below, a very bright nebula is visible, accompanied by a group of very young stars. At the bottom right, surrounded by a reddish nebula, the star Sigma Scorpii. The globular clusters NGC 6144 (bottom, center of the image) and M80 (top right of the image) are also visible on this infrared image obtained from the Wide - field Infrared Explorer (WISE) satellite. A rich collection of colorful astronomical objects is revealed in this picturesque image of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex from Nasa's Wide - field Infrared Explorer, or WISE. The Rho Ophiuchi cloud (pronounced 'oh - fee - yoo - ki' and named after a bright star in the region) is found rising above the plane of the Milky Way in the night sky, bordering the constellations Ophiuchus and Scorpius. It's one of the nearest star - forming regions to Earth, allowing us to resolve much more detail than in more distant similar regions, like the Orion nebula. The amazing variety of colors seen in this image represents different wavelengths of infrared light. The bright white nebula in the center of the image is glowing due to heating from nearby stars, resulting in what is called an emission nebula. The same is true for most of the multi - hued gas prevalent throughout the entire image, including the bluish, bow - shaped feature near the bottom right. The bright red area in the bottom right is light from the star in the center - - Sigma Scorpii - - that is reflected off of the dust surrounding it, creating what is called a reflection nebula. And the much darker areas scattered throughout the image are pockets of cool, dense gas that block out the background light, resulting in
