Optical image of the Orion Nebula
Orion nebula. True-colour optical image of the great Orion nebula (M42 & M43, with NGC 1977 above) showing the fine strands of nebulosity in its outer reaches. These nebulae lie around 1500 light years away in the constellation Orion. M42 and M43 are HII regions, areas of gas (mainly hydrogen) and dust where newly born stars excite the gas, causing it to glow. M42 and M43 are excited by a group of stars (the Trapezium) embedded in them. The stars are here obscured by the bright central region. This image was produced by digitally combining photographs taken by the UK Schmidt Telescope in blue and red light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Orion Nebula, a true masterpiece of nature. The image reveals the intricate details and delicate strands of nebulosity that extend into its outer reaches. Located approximately 1500 light years away in the constellation Orion, this celestial wonder consists of two HII regions known as M42 and M43. The vibrant colors captured in this optical image are a result of newly born stars exciting the surrounding gas, predominantly hydrogen, causing it to emit a luminous glow. Within M42 and M43 lies a group of stars called the Trapezium, which remain hidden within the bright central region depicted here. Produced by digitally combining photographs taken by the renowned UK Schmidt Telescope in both blue and red light, this stunning composition offers an immersive glimpse into stellar formation and interstellar evolution. The photograph not only highlights star birth but also emphasizes cosmological phenomena such as dust clouds and ionized hydrogen. Science Photo Library has skillfully preserved this extraordinary moment from our universe's vast tapestry for all to admire. With its rich scientific significance and undeniable aesthetic appeal, this image serves as a testament to mankind's unyielding curiosity about our cosmic surroundings.
