Description

These nebulae in Orion are some of the most famous nebulae of all time and for good reason. Stellar winds from the stars near the top of the frame push the red H-II against the dark nebulae to form fascinating and iconic shapes, like the horsehead and the branches in the Flame Nebula. This complex is located about 900-1500 right years away and all around the bright star Alnitak- one of the stars in Orion's Belt.
