Star Cluster Super Bubble NGC 1929 in Nebula 44 | NASA Hubble/Chandra

This region of star formation features a giant bubble that is blowing out from the middle of this image due to winds flowing off young stars. Chandra data (purple and pink) show this superbubble of hot gas, while Hubble data (orange and light blue) reveals the gas and dust in the system.

Distance: About 160,000 light years
