NGC 3582 This fiery photo of the star-forming nebula NGC 3582 was processed by American astrophotographer Joe DePasquale. “The massive loops of ionized gas expelled by dying stars remind me of solar prominences,” the bright loops of charged plasma that sometimes erupt on the sun, DePasquale said. The data for the image was taken with the Wide Field Imager on the 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory on June 16, 2002. Image: ESO/Joe DePasquale
