To Celebrate the Coming of Spring, NASA Releases Images of "Blossaming" Stellar Nurseries This collection of images from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes contains regions where stars are forming. Often nicknamed “stellar nurseries,” they are cosmic gardens from which stars – not plants – emerge from the interstellar soil of gas and dust.
