Description

Two hot young pre-main-sequence stars, condensed from the dust that surrounds them, light up their surroundings forming a blue reflection nebula.  There is also a subtle emission nebula, best seen at much longer focal lengths.  In this image, the emission nebula is seen as a subtle area of red/pink just to the right of the protostars.
