    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    That’s because this nebula contains about 200 of the hottest and largest types of stars, most of which are in the early stages of their lives.

    Astronomers know of no other region in the Universe so densely packed with large stars as this nebula.

    In this image, captured by the Near-Infrared Camera on the Webb telescope, there are brilliant reds and oranges.

    The most noticeable features are tendrils and clumps of emission that appear bright red, extending out from areas that look like clearings, or large bubbles in the nebula.

    Stellar winds from the brightest and hottest young stars have carved out these cavities, while ultraviolet radiation ionizes the surrounding gas.

    The bright orange streaks in the Webb near-infrared image signify the presence of carbon-based molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
