Description

The Monkey Head Nebula is a star-forming region located 6,400 lightyears away in the Orion constellation. It is a place where new stars are being born at a fierce and rapid rate, and these newly born stars emit powerful streams of charged particles known as stellar winds that blow the gas and dust away. Imaged in 2022 from my home in Florida.
