A Star Is Being Born
A telescope-captured miracle

A nebula fall?
No, a universe melting
a brand new bright star.
When I saw this picture by Hubble Space Telescope, I thought it was a whole galaxy in the shape of a waterfall. But no, it's a capture of the birth of just one star. Looks like a surrealist painting.
