The Orion nebula
Thousands of stars are forming in the cloud of gas and dust known as the Orion nebula. More than 3,000 stars of various sizes appear in this image. Some of them have never been seen in visible light. I can never get tired of looking at this object, it seems every time I see it there is more detail. Looking through a telescope you only see some color and mostly it appears greenish. a photo really brings the colors out and this one is very nice.
