Cygnus X
This new view of the
Cygnus-X
star-formation
region by
Herschel
highlights chaotic networks of
dust
and
gas
that point to sites of massive
star formation
. The image combines data acquired with the
PACS
instrument at 70
micron
(corresponding to the blue channel) and 160 micron (corresponding to the green channel) and with the
SPIRE
instrument at 250 micron (corresponding to the red channel). The observations were made on 24 May 2010 and 18 December 2010. North is to the lower-right and east to the upper-right. Photo credit:
