Description
Space image: New stars around Westerlund 2, fascinating orange, red and yellow colors.
The red dots scattered throughout the cosmic landscape captured in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image are a rich population of forming stars that are still wrapped in their gas and dust cocoons.
These stellar foetuses have not yet ignited the hydrogen in their cores to light-up as stars. However, Hubble�s near-infrared vision allows astronomers to identify these fledglings. The brilliant blue stars seen throughout the image are mostly in the foreground.
This is a section of the new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of Westerlund 2 and its surroundings, released to celebrate Hubble�s 25th anniversary.

The original NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image was released under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. I carefully enhanced the picture with a special artistic treatment. Looks like a realistic painting, can be printed in large sizes and the colors are more vivid and vibrant than in the original photo. It will look amazing as large print, canvas print, metal or acrylic print on your wall. Bring the universe in your home or office!
