Description

M42, the Orion Nebula, is an immense starbirth region spanning some 40 light years and is located about 1500 light years from Earth. Glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an interstellar molecular cloud. Many of the filamentary structures visible in the image are actually shock waves.
