S106-IR Nebula

The Swan Nebula, several have quite unusual colors and are hypothesized to be very young stars still shrouded by gas from the cloud that formed them. The Swan Nebula is quite large and massive as it contains roughly 1000 times the mass of our Sun. The bright central region is about 15 light years across lies about 5000 light years away toward the constellation of Sagittarius. The distinctive shape causes this region to have several other names, including the Omega Nebula, the Horseshoe Nebula

Our Sun in the Milky Way Galaxy. Please try to put your worries into perspective. Here you see approximately 200,000,000,000 stars and most, it is now thought, have planets, some just like our own, going around them.
