The RCW 7 nebula, featured in this Hubble Space Telescope image, illustrates the transformation of a molecular cloud into an H II region, marked by the emergence of massive protostars. These stars emit ultraviolet light and stellar winds that shape the nebula, with Hubble capturing this process in near-infrared light, revealing the lifecycle of stars and their impact on the surrounding cloud.
