Summary

Description
English: The rich patchwork of gas clouds in this new image make up part of a huge stellar nursery nicknamed the Prawn Nebula (also known as Gum 56 and IC 4628). Taken using the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile, this may well be one of the best pictures ever taken of this object. It shows clumps of hot new-born stars nestled in among the clouds that make up the nebula.
Русский: Узор газовых облаков на этом новом снимке – часть гигантского звездного «инкубатора», который астрономы называют Туманностью Креветки (Prawn Nebula, она же Gum 56 и IC 4628). Это, возможно, одно из лучших изображений этого объекта за всю историю его наблюдений получено на 2.2-метровом телескопе MPG/ESO в обсерватории Ла Силья в Чили. Среди газовых облаков, составляющих туманность, видны группы горячих новорожденных звезд.
