Three astronomical objects, each represented as a cutout image separated by diagonal lines. The left cutout shows a colorful field of dusts and gases. One ridge of dust and gas is outlined with a dotted green line. Slightly below the outline, a bright red light is circled with a dotted green line. Three dotted green arrows point from the circled red light toward the outlined ridge. The central cutout shows one arm of a spiral galaxy. The spiral arm, a thick filament of dust and gas, begins near a bright yellow core and swirls outward, clockwise. There are pockets of pink, which are star-forming regions. All other details within the region are covered with a darkened overlay. The right cutout shows two jets of hot gas shooting out from central stars.  There is a white dashed line outlining a thick line of soft brown dust and gas, which is the edge of the nebula. This edge and its outline stretch from the bottom left of the cutout to the bottom-center before curving upward and ending at the top-right.
