MIAMI—A satellite launched by NASA in 2009 to map the entire sky in the infrared is capturing some pretty pictures along the way. Scientists from the WISE mission, short for Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, released this image of the so-called Heart and Soul nebulae Monday at the semiannual meeting of the American Astronomical Society being held here this week.
