Wispy tendrils of gas float through the Lupus 3 star-forming region in this Hubble Space Telescope image. Lupus 3 features many bright young stars that are clearly visible, having dispersed the gas that surrounded them as they formed. Many others are still hidden inside their gaseous cocoons.

The Hubble Mission Team has released another image of the space telescope's study of star formation. This image shows the dark cloud Lupus 3, a star-forming region about 500 light-years away. Lupus 3 contains bright young T-Tauri stars, and 2 hot young stars that are creating a beautiful nebula.
