Fact Sheet
Big Family
A "family" of young stars shows off in this combined infrared and X-ray view of Cepheus B, a stellar nursery about 2,400 light-years from Earth. The nursery has given birth to hundreds of stars in the last few million years. Other stars are still being born from the glowing cloud of gas and dust. [NASA/CXC/JPL/Caltech/PSU/CfA]
