Summary
| Description |
English: The bright pink objects around the center are young stellar objects (YSOs) located in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. These baby stars are just now forming; many of them are still enveloped in their own tiny compact nebulae. In visible light, these YSOs are completely hidden in the dark nebula that surrounds them, which is sometimes referred to as their baby blanket. The very bright region just above center is part of the cloud illuminated by the T-Tauri star 2MASS J16263416-2423282. The bright but diffuse area just right of center is an area illuminated by the YSO 2MASS J16260931-2434121. |
