Hidden nebula revealed
The bright yellow-red nebula at the center of this image is in the constellation of Scutum, and has no common name since it is hidden behind dust clouds. It takes an infrared telescope like Spitzer, which sees beyond the visible spectrum of light, to see through this dark veil and reveal this spectacular hidden nebula.
