For picture go there ^^
This picture (W5) is close to constellation Casseopeia, picture taken in the infrared part of the spectrum by the most important infrared telescope: the Spitzer Space Telescope. The 'Mountain' was created by solar winds and hot radiation from a nearby star. The 'Mountains of Creation' are 10 times as large as the Pillars of Creation, captured by the Hubble Telescope. But the Pillars of Creation are prettier. Much, much prettier. W5 is a part of a 'complex region' called the Heart and Soul Nebula. The Heart and Soul Nebluae are basically just big red blobs. Not as pretty. This picture is 70 ly long.
