Newborn Star or Dying Star?

  • DistantSent by DistantSent

    The more I see these objects, especially with the pink center, it reminds me of stars beginning to form within their dust clouds or a dying star shedding its outer layers. Any ideas? Do we know the redshift of this object?

    This is actually a star from our galaxy, but something went wrong with the imaging/filters. The colors are not real.

    This being a star, redshift = 0
