Description

The Gabriela Mistral nebular complex is named after the Chilean Nobel Prize winner in literature.  It is powered by NGC 3324, a young star cluster in the central blue region, whose stellar winds are scouring the surrounding molecular clouds, thereby creating an emission nebula with the designation IC 2599.

The supposed resemblance to Mistral’s profile cannot easily be seen unless you rotate the image 90° clockwise, in which case the right-hand border of the blue region bears some similarity to her in some well-known portraits.
