A composite image of the region around the bright infrared star NML Cygnus. Astronomers have used new technologies to obtain this precise image of the heated dust cloud. The star is the white dot at the center of the picture; the label "Heated Dust" refers to material blown from the star but heated by other, nearby stars.
