Lambda Centauri Nebula Wall Art including Frame PopSocket This mosaic image taken byThis 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. The hottest members of the cluster produce enough ultraviolet radiation and strong winds to
