Called an "emissions nebula," it's a bright cloud whose gases get excited by radiation from nearby stars, and ultimately emit light. (In other words, this isn't starlight isn't being reflected off the gas.)

That's because NASA and its space partners plan to launch a giant next-generation telescope in Oct. 2021. It's called the James Webb Space Telescope, and it's the most powerful space telescope ever built.
