Alma Images of Two Molecular Clouds: N159E-Papillon Nebula (Left) and N159W South (Right)

Caption

Red and green show the distributions of molecular gas with different velocities mapped by 13CO emissions. The blue region in N159E-Papillon Nebula shows the ionized hydrogen gas observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. The blue part in N159W South shows the emissions from dust particles obtained with ALMA.
