NASA Creates Portrait Of Life And Death In The Universe: "In a small galaxy lies a luminous cloud of gas and dust, called a nebula, which houses a family of newborn stars."

"The nebula, Henize 206, and the remnants of the exploding star that created it, are pictured in superb detail in a new image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Henize 206 sits just outside our own galaxy, the Milky Way, in a satellite galaxy 163,000 light-years away called the Large Magellanic Cloud."
