seen here in visible light the North
American nebula strangely resembles its
namesake continent expanding our view to
include infrared light the dark dust
lanes and concealed stars glowing red
colors of the Continental gas clouds
shift to an ocean like blue pushing
entirely into the infrared spectrum we
see even more detail and the convoluted
dust clouds
the ultraviolet globe from massive young
stars heats the gas and sculpts the dust
clouds into fantastic shapes throughout
this composite visible and infrared
light the hot gas rendered in blue fills
the spaces between the denser dusty
regions that appear red this dramatic
cluster baby stars can only be found in
infrared images the stars are forming
within dense dust filaments in the Gulf
of Mexico region the dusty cocoons
around these protostars go read this
expanded infrared view a similar those
smaller filament of baby stars can be
found nearby in an area known as the
Pelican nebula picking out the red
protostars is easy in the full infrared
view combining infrared data from NASA's
Spitzer Space Telescope with light from
other parts of the spectrum gives
astronomers a more complete picture of
star formation each different
combination of observations provides
more insight into how one generation of
stars can give rise to the next
history but the only person around it
doesn't have TV coverage of the baby and
then they got the black up now you're
gonna be the TV picture never fail us we
are going
pictured here with you now
