Large feature to the bottom right

    What's the large orange/red feature in the bottom right here? Is it possible to see this area of the sky zoomed out a little more?

    That orange/red area looks like it's swirling and turbulent. Could it be a place where stars are forming? I would like to know what the different colors in these images mean. They are infrared, but I don't know what temperatures, elemental composition, etc are. Is the orange/red feature is hotter than the green? What about those deep red regions in some of the green knots? Anyone know?

    thanks
