This image of the Eagle Nebula, located at a distance of 5,700 light-years from Maine, was obtained using a special technique that used data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra Telescope.
A photograph of the same nebula, dubbed the "Pillar of Creation," was taken in 1995 and is one of the most famous images of space.
However, scientists have now taken this picture using infrared rays instead of ordinary light.
Nebula refers to the dust between stars in space, often consisting of hydrogen, helium and other gases.
These clouds are called star nurseries because new stars are born inside them. The particles of these clouds get closer due to gravity, and keep colliding and heating up. If their weight and temperature reach a certain level, a new star is born.
Scientists believe that our own sun and solar system came into being about four and a half billion years ago from a similar nebula.
The clouds in the picture are spread over an area of five light years. This distance is about 470 trillion kilometers.
These clouds are constantly changing shape due to the rays and radiation coming from the surrounding stars, so whenever they are photographed, they look a little different.
