Lambda Centauri Nebula Wall Art including Frame PopSocket observed almost 1This infrared image from NASA's Wide field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows the Lambda Centauri nebula, a star forming cloud in our Milky Way galaxy, also known as the Running Chicken nebula. The nebula, cataloged as IC 2944, is about 5,800 light years from Earth and is home to a new cluster of stars born from the cloud nearly 8 million years ago.
