A striking new image released by NASA offers a rare, close up look at one of the busiest star forming regions in a neighbouring galaxy. Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, the photograph shows brilliant blue and white young stars glowing against a vivid backdrop of crimson hydrogen gas, a scene NASA has compared to fireworks bursting through drifting smoke.
