Description

Orion Nebula: Nursery of newborn stars

Possibly the most photographed nebula is the Orion nebula. I was intrigued by this star-forming region when I saw this video from the Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) youtube channel:

Fortunately, I was able to image this nebula at Inks Lake State Park in Texas. I was mesmerized by its sheer size and beauty.
