About this field

A violent star-forming region where infrared imaging cuts through dust that hides newborn stars completely at visible wavelengths.

The image above is procedurally generated. Source positions, colours and crowding are derived from the field's galactic latitude and character and from the band's pivot wavelength, and every exposure of a field draws the same sky so dithers line up — but none of it is data from the telescope.
