Default CELESTIAL SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM HUBBLE (STScI-PRC06-55-Heritage)

CELESTIAL SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM HUBBLE

Swirls of gas and dust reside in this ethereal-looking region of star
formation imaged by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. This majestic view of
LH 95, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, reveals a region where
low-mass, infant stars and their much more massive stellar neighbors
reside. A shroud of blue haze gently lingers amid the stars. The image
was taken in March 2006 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys.
