The nebula is located approximately seven thousand light-years away from Earth in a dense region of gas that is not easily evaporated by the intense radiation from young stars, known as the Free-floating Evaporating Gaseous Globule (frEGG).
In the image, you can see orange and red clouds with various bright stars of different intensities, as well as a small patch of dark gas filling the lower right part.
About 7,000 light-years away, the nebula Westerhout 5 is suffused with bright red light.
