Starry Lineup [1]

A Hubble Space Telescope image shows NGC 2467, a collection of star clusters and gas clouds that line up in the same direction from Earth. The bright star at top center is eroding the background cloud. Small clumps and filaments within the cloud may be giving birth to new stars. NGC 2467 is in the constellation Puppis, well to the left of Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, and is low in the south on spring nights. [NASA/ESA/Orsola De Marco (Macquarie University)]
