Today's Picture The Herschel Space Observatory's infrared view of Cygnus X spans some 6x2 degrees across one of the closest, massive starforming regions in the plane of our Milky Way galaxy.In fact, the rich stellar nursery already holds themassive star cluster known as the Cygnus OB2 association .But those stars are more evident bythe region cleared by their energetic winds and radiationnear the bottom center of this field, and are not detected byHerschel instruments operating at long infrared wavelengths .Herschel does reveal the region's complex filaments of cool gasand dust that lead todense locations where new massive stars are forming. Cygnus Xlies some 4500 light-years away toward the heartof the northern constellation of the Swan.At that distance this picture would be almost 500 light-years wide.
