Spitzer Image of Star Factory W51

The star-forming nebula W51 is one of the largest "star factories" in the Milky Way galaxy. Interstellar dust blocks the visible light emitted by the region, but it is revealed by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which captures infrared light that can penetrate dust clouds. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23865
