Vela Molecular Cloud D
A Spitzer Space Telescope infrared image of the Vela Molecular Cloud D. Hundreds of young, infrared bright stars are seen embedded in the dusty wisps, filaments, and other structures in which they formed. The broad range of colors represent the diversity of temperatures and processes underway in Vela as new stars form; the inset shows details around two sources in Vela.
