Chandra space telescope view a region of glowing gas in the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way galaxy known as NGC 3576 located about 9,000 light years from Earth. Such nebulas present a tableau of the drama of the evolution of massive stars, from the formation in vast dark clouds, their relatively brief lives, and the eventual destruction in supernova explosions November 15, 2013.
