Infrared image of the Milky Way's galactic plane near Cygnus, revealing a frothy texture of dust clouds. Bright, bubble-shaped and arc-like structures are visible around supernova remnants and star-forming regions. The image, based on data from NASA's IRAS satellite, shows the complex distribution of dust, resembling a foamy glass of beer.

Infrared image of galactic dust clouds in the Cygnus region of the Milky Way. The dust is arranged in a foam-like structure with bubbles and voids, likely formed by stellar winds and supernovae shocks. The image reveals bright, bubble-shaped, and arc-like clouds around supernova remnants and star-forming regions. Data from NASA's IRAS satellite.

A deep-space photograph showing a dark, elongated cloud stretching diagonally across the starry sky. The cloud, known as Lynds Dark Nebula 1251, appears as a murky, shadowy structure obscuring the stars behind it. Scattered throughout are tiny glowing red spots—Herbig-Haro objects—indicating regions of newborn stars. Faint background galaxies are also visible, peeking through the dust, with the entire view spanning nearly three full moons in width.
