A WISE spacecraft [1]

An infrared view shows clouds of gas that form the Lambda Centauri Nebula, a stellar nursery about 5,800 light-years from Earth. The red indicates the glow of gas and dust, while green shows the light from stars. The image was compiled by WISE, a spacecraft launched in 2019. The mission has been redesignated NeoWISE, and it hunts for asteroids and comets in our own solar system. [NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA]
