Zoom to Star-Forming Region S106 (with music)

This video zooms in on star-forming region Sh2-106, also known as S106. This is a compact star-forming region in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan). A newly formed star called S106 IR (also known as IRS 4) is shrouded in dust at the center of the image, and is responsible for the surrounding gas cloud's hourglass-like shape and the turbulence visible within.
