Figure 2.1: Ways of inspiring.
Left:
The ruby- hued Trifid nebula several light years in diameter.
The hydrogen gas core is heated by hundreds of brilliant young stars causing it to emit red
light (just as hot neon gas glows red- orange in illuminated signs). Image credit: R. Jay GaBany,

The evolution of stars can be tracked as they cool (from blue-hot
on the left, to red-hot on the right) and fade in luminosity. Image credit: © 2017 ESO.
