A false-color infrared image of the nebula RCW 49, taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The image shows a large cloud of gas and dust, with a cluster of hot stars at the center. The nebula is a star-forming region, and the image reveals over 300 newborn stars scattered throughout the dust clouds and filaments. Some of these stars are surrounded by protoplanetary discs, suggesting that planet formation is a common occurrence in star-forming regions.
