Flame nebula (NGC 2024)
Flame nebula, optical image. The flame shape is caused by a dark nebula. This cloud of dust and gas obscures the light from the emission nebula that lies behind, seen here as the red region at centre. The gas of this nebula glows as it is ionised by the radiation from hot stars. The bright star at lower right is Alnitak (Zeta Orionis), one of the three stars in Orions belt, lying 817 light years from Earth. The nebula lies around 1500 light years away in the constellation Orion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) in all its celestial glory. The optical image reveals a stunning flame-like shape, which is actually created by a dark nebula. This cloud of dust and gas acts as a veil, obscuring the light emitted from the vibrant red region at the center - an emission nebula that lies behind it. The mesmerizing glow emanating from this nebula is a result of ionization caused by the intense radiation emitted by hot stars. One such star, Alnitak (Zeta Orionis), can be seen shining brightly at the lower right corner of the image. Alnitak is part of Orion's belt and resides approximately 817 light years away from Earth. In comparison, this breathtaking nebula lies around 1500 light years away within the constellation Orion. This photograph not only captures our imagination but also provides valuable insights into astrophysics and stellar formation. It serves as a reminder of how vast and awe-inspiring our universe truly is. With its intricate details and contrasting elements between darkness and illumination, this print invites us to contemplate both cosmic evolution and our place within it. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this remarkable image allows us to appreciate the beauty found in space while igniting curiosity about what else awaits discovery beyond our planet's boundaries.
