The photo for the week of March 27 is titled, The N44 Complex. The false colored photo is of an enormous emission nebula named N44. It ranges from about 1,000 light-years across in diameter and is located in the southern sky. The young stars inside this nebula create the wind and radiation from inside that eventually helped shape the nebula to what it looks like in the photo. However, these stars are not the only thing that helped shape this cloud, a nearby supernovae has drastically helped form N44's shape.
