Like a jewel in Orion’s celestial scabbard, the Orion Nebula is one of the most profound yet accessible star-forming regions in the night sky.
But The Hunter has other weapons as well. Burning at his hip like a secret knife, the Horsehead Nebula is always waiting, with its blend of emission and reflection nebulosity, keeping astronomers in awe for generations.
And all around the Great Hunter, glowing clouds of gas and dust weave patterns of softness and violence, lending contrast to the eternal night of the cosmos beyond.
