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.
