How about a behind-the-scenes look at star formation?

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows IRAS 16562-3959, where a massive star with about 30 times the mass of the Sun is in the process of forming. This stellar nursery is located quite close, 5900 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.

Image description:

A nebula full of stars. From top left to bottom right, the centre of the image shines brightly with light from where new stars are forming and is partially covered by dark dust. Layers of coloured gas and dust spread across the rest of the image. The nebula is speckled with foreground stars with large diffraction spikes.

While nursery is already a very beautiful word, don't you think star nursery is much more beautiful?
