NGC 2068 reflection nebula
NGC 2068 (M78) nebula. Optical image of the bright reflection nebula NGC 2068, 1600 light years away in the constellation of Orion. North is at top. A dark lane of dust obscures part of the nebula. A smaller nebula (NGC 2071) is above and left of NGC 2068. The bright glow is the reflection of light from bright blue stars within the nebulae. NGC 2068 is around 4 light years across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing NGC 2068 reflection nebula, also known as the M78 nebula. Located a staggering 1600 light years away in the constellation of Orion, this optical image reveals a stunning celestial phenomenon. The top of the image represents north, and we can observe a dark lane of dust partially obscuring parts of the nebula. Adjacent to NGC 2068 is another smaller nebula called NGC 2071, positioned above and to the left. However, it is the brilliant glow emanating from within these nebulae that truly captivates our attention. This luminosity results from the reflection of light emitted by bright blue stars nestled amidst these cosmic clouds. Spanning approximately 4 light years across, NGC 2068 presents an awe-inspiring sight that evokes thoughts about starry evolution and stellar formation. Its intricate interplay between gas, dust, and stars offers astronomers valuable insights into astrophysics and cosmology. As we gaze upon this breathtaking snapshot captured by Science Photo Library, let us marvel at nature's artistry on display in space. This photograph serves as a reminder of both our insignificance in comparison to the vastness of our universe and our boundless curiosity to explore its mysteries further.
