Description

I stared at this and rotated for a while, before it felt right.
The shades of red created through the Sii channel are subtle but meaningful.
The gentle hydrogen structures behind the layers of dust and Oxygen on the right side of the image create a wonderful impression of gas closing in on the dust from several angels.
I invite you to take a stroll through the fascinating structures and details.
