Because there's always room for a great photo:
According to NASA, this image from its "Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows a cosmic rosebud blossoming with new stars."
The space agency adds that, "the stars, called the Berkeley 59 cluster, are the blue dots to the right of the image center. They are ripening out of the dust cloud from which they formed, and at just a few million years old, are young on stellar time scales. The rosebud-like red glow surrounding the hot, young stars is warm dust heated by the stars."
