Infrared image of the Milky Way's galactic plane near Cygnus, revealing a frothy texture of dust clouds. Bright, bubble-shaped and arc-like structures are visible around supernova remnants and star-forming regions. The image, based on data from NASA's IRAS satellite, shows the complex distribution of dust, resembling a foamy glass of beer.
