Summary
| Description |
English: Dusty proplyds in the star cluster Collinder 69 (Lambda Orionis Cluster), which appears as a star leaving a red tail behind. The external evaporation of dust from the disk of this object is caused by nearby OB-stars. The dust is then swept away by the nearby OB-star Meissa (Lambda Orionis), forming a tail in the wake of the young stars.
The two boxed areas had separate image processing for the red channel. Image Credit: NASA Spitzer Space Telescope Filters: 4.5, 8.0 and 24 Micron |
