IC2944 is a large HII region (star forming cloud) in the southern constellation of Centaurus. The bright blue star in the upper right is Lambda Centauri, one of the brightest stars in the southern sky.The cluster of hot blue stars to the right of center are illuminating the gases of IC2944 and causing it to glow in the red and magenta light of excited hydrogen.
