恒星的形成可能很混乱。为了弄清究竟有多混乱，欧洲航天局的新太阳轨道欧几里得望远镜最近拍摄了明亮的恒星形成区域M78的最详细图像。在图像中心附近，M78距离我们只有1300光年，它的主要发光核心跨度约为5光年。这张特色图像是在可见光和红外光下拍摄的。M78中心的紫色色调是由暗尘埃优先反射炽热年轻恒星的蓝光造成的。复杂的尘埃带和细丝可以通过这华丽而暴露的天空景观来追踪。左上方是相关的恒星形成区域NGC 2071，而右下方则是第三个恒星形成区域。这些星云都是巨大的猎户座分子云复合体的一部分，即使是猎户座带以北的小型望远镜也能发现。更多欧几里得天空糖果：欧几里得最近发布的图像

Star formation can be messy. To help find out just how messy, ESA's new Sun-orbiting Euclid telescope recently captured the most detailed image ever of the bright star forming region M78. Near the image center, M78 lies at a distance of only about 1,300 light-years away and has a main glowing core that spans about 5 light-years. The featured image was taken in both visible and infrared light. The purple tint in M78's center is caused by dark dust preferentially reflecting the blue light of hot, young stars. Complex dust lanes and filaments can be traced through this gorgeous and revealing skyscape. On the upper left is associated star forming region NGC 2071, while a third region of star formation is visible on the lower right. These nebulas are all part of the vast Orion Molecular Cloud Complex which can be found with even a small telescope just north of Orion's belt.
