Description

NGC 3576, often referred to as the Statue of Liberty Nebula, is approximately 100 light years across and 9000 light-years away from Earth. On the right side you can see the shape resembling the famous Statue of Liberty. Within the nebula, star formation is thought to contribute to the complex and suggestive shapes. Powerful winds from the nebula's embedded, young, massive stars shape the looping filaments.
