Very beautiful! Many of the green stars are buried under a huge amount of dust. Only Spitzer could find many of these stars.

Why green stars?

All of the images are a compost of three separate RGB images. When you adjust the three into a single color image, you can get green stars.

There are two effect that make these stars appear green in the images: 1) being embedded within dusty regions and 2) youth.
