Massive stars in Open Cluster Pismis ~ toward the bottom of this image, diapered in clouds of hot gas, infant stars are still forming, including several that seem to be breaking away from the nursery!

Baby stars!
"Called a star's orbit to pursue,
What is the darkness, star, to you?"
- Friedrich Nietzsche
"Even a small star shines in the darkness."
- Finnish proverb
And we are all a part of it! The
magnificence!
Hello Joyce! It's been a long while. Hope you are well and your creative juices overflowing!
Petra :))
These images are just fabulous! Sometimes I'm just aghast at the beauty in this universe.
Oh, you cannot imagine how nice it was to see you again, Joyce! I've
missed you!
Wow! Diapered in clouds – what an expression. The gas looks edible, or like something you could wear.
PS
Your comment on Jo's poem about the plus-sized woman cracked me up, the part about putting a caramel in the side of your mouth. I kinda like chocolate chip cookies myself. :-)
