(A) The small
blobs in this picture are protostars in the Orion nebula, a huge gas cloud
about 1500 light years from Earth. (Courtesy Space Telescope Science Institute.)
(B)Picture in false color of a disk of dust around the young star, b Pictoris made at the ESO telescope. The
dark circle blots out the star's direct light, which would otherwise overexpose
the image. (A. M. Lagrange, D. Mouillet, and J. L. Beuzit, Grenoble
