The fantasy-like landscape of the nebula is sculpted by the action of outflowing winds and scorching ultraviolet radiation from the monster stars that inhabit this inferno. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a globular cluster known as NGC 104 - or, more commonly, 47 Tucanae, since it is part of the constellation of Tucana (The Toucan) in the southern sky. In this new Hubble image, the strikingly luminous star AG Carinae — otherwise known as HD 94910 — takes centre stage A small young stellar object (YSO) known as SSTC2D J033038.2+303212. Located in the constellation of Perseus, this star is in the early stages of its life and is still forming into a fully grown star.
