Description

1300 light years away, the Orion Molecular complex hosts many of the most spectacular star forming regions in the sky. At this relatively low magnification view two of the stars of Orion's belt are seen, as well as the famous Horsehead, Running Man, Flame nebulae, and of course the Great Orion Nebula.
