Composite image of bubble-like structures detected using infrared observation data of the Milky Way obtained by the Spitzer Space Telescope

Caption

The images on the left show newly detected bubble-like structures, while the images on the right show the bubble-like structure detected in this study and previous studies. By using wavelengths of 8 μm (green) and 24 μm (red), it is possible to detect the bubble structures created by the formation of high-mass stars.
