Hubble Captures Stunning Views of Mammoth Stars

ABC News: Hubble Captures Stunning Views of Mammoth Stars: "Inside the Cocoon Nebula, seen here, is a newly developing cluster of stars. According to NASA, the nebula is nearly 15 light years wide and located about 4,000 light years away toward the northern constellation Cygnus. The soon-to-be-launched Kepler telescope, which is searching for Earth-like planets, will focus around the Cocoon Nebula's area of the Milky Way galaxy. The bright star near the center of this nebula is likely only a few hundred years old."
