Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer. RCW 120 is an H II emission nebula in the southern Milky Way,located around 4,300 light-years from Earth. The ring of dust is actually glowing in infrared colors that human eyes cannot see,but show up brightly when viewed by Spitzer's infrared detectors.
