NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured a grand view while exploring patches of the sky. In an infrared image captured by the telescope and posted on social media by NASA, we see a cosmic cloud that resembles a butterfly. But don't be fooled. This image is of a cluster of "baby stars", a nebula of new stars. The image shows huge red clouds of gas and dust where new stars may form. What looks like a butterfly's wings are actually giant bubbles of hot, interstellar gas that are emanating from the hottest and most massive stars.
