Description
This image of the W33 star forming region taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope features massive yellow areas of star formation, nicknamed "yellow balls." Infrared light has been assigned different colors; yellow occurs where green and red overlap. The yellow balls, several hundred to thousands times the size of our solar system, represent an intermediary stage of massive star formation that takes place before massive stars carve out cavities in the surrounding gas and dust (seen as green-rimmed bubbles with red interiors in this image).
