An area that is filled with stars, the nebula was seen via infrared light by the telescope. This part of space is located in the constellation Auriga, and lies about 10,000
light-years away. It is in the outer part of the Milky Way, almost
exactly in the opposite direction from the galactic center.
A cluster of young stars called "Stock 8" can be seen at center right.
The light from this cluster carves out a bowl in the nearby dust clouds,
seen here as green fluff. Along the sinuous tail in the center and to
the left, groupings of red point sources are also young stars.
