(Left) A false-color infrared image of the young stellar cluster in Serpens. The astronomical coordinates label the axes. (Right) The labels identify the locations of the dense cluster core (white circle), the very young stellar embryos (red circles), and slightly older stars that have protoplanetary disks (green diamonds); also provided are some object names and a marker showing one light-year (labeled "0.3pc" - for comparison, the nearest star to the sun is 4 light-years away.)
