About this image:
This is the center of the Heart Nebula or IC-1805 in the center is a cluster of stars known as Melotte 15, some these stars are as much as 50 mass of our sun. The radiation pressure from this light is eroding the denser parts of it, seen here as lumpy cone and pillar shaped objects.
