The dwarf galaxy NGC 4214 is ablaze with young stars and gas clouds. Located around 10 million light-years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici (The Hunting Dogs), the galaxy's close proximity, combined with the wide variety of evolutionary stages among the stars, make it an ideal laboratory to research the triggers of star formation and evolution.

A portrait of the northern autumn constellation of Cepheus the King. The large red nebula at the bottom (to the south) is IC 1396. Mu Cephei is the red star, aka the Garnet Star, on its edge. This is with the filter-modified Canon 5D MkII camera at ISO 1600 and Sigma 50mm lens at f/2.8 for a stack of 13 x 60- and 90-second exposures with the Star Adventurer tracker (median combined to help eliminate thin clouds drifting through), plus an exposure through the Kenko Softon A filter layered in fo

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image, taken in near-infrared light, transforms the pillars into eerie, wispy silhouettes, which are seen against a background of myriad stars.The near-infrared light can penetrate much of the gas and dust, revealing stars behind the nebula as well as hidden away inside the pillars. Some of the gas and dust clouds are so dense that even the near-infrared light cannot penetrate them. New stars embedded in the tops of the pillars, however, are apparent as bright sources that are unseen in the visible image.The ghostly bluish haze around the dense edges of the pillars is material getting heated up by the intense ultraviolet radiation from a cluster of young, massive stars and evaporating away into space. The stellar grouping is above the pillars and cannot be seen in the image. At the top edge of the left-hand pillar, a gaseous fragment has been heated up and is flying away from the structure, underscoring the violent nature of star-forming regions.Astr
