CELESTIAL SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM HUBBLE (STScI-PRC06-55-Heritage)
FOR RELEASE: 9:00 am (EST) December 19, 2006
PHOTO NO.: STScI-PRC06-55 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.
