Spiral Galaxy:  The magnificent M81 spiral galaxy takes center stage in this ultraviolet image from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer.  Young stars appear as wisps of bluish-white swirling around a central golden glow, which comes from a group of much older stars.
</DIV>
The large fluffy bluish-white material to the left of M81 is a neighboring galaxy called Homberg IX.  This galaxy is practically invisible to the naked human eye.  However, when viewed in ultraviolet light, a region that is actively forming young stars is revealed.

Stellar Babies:  Infant stars are glowing gloriously in this infrared image of the Serpens star-forming region, located approximately 848 light-years away in the Serpens constellation.
 </DIV>
The reddish-pink dots are baby stars deeply embedded in the cosmic cloud of gas and dust that collapsed to create the stars.  Dusty disks of cosmic debris that may eventually form planets surround the infant stars.
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope took this image.
