The Orion Nebula is the nearest major star birth region, located 1500 light years from Earth. Hundreds of stars are either forming or in the early stages of life in this nebula - and planetary systems are forming around some of these stars!
It's a busy place and a frequent target for both Hubble and amateur astronomers. This #HubbleClassic image is a mosaic of 15 separate images taken by the telescope.
Image description:
A huge region of glowing gas and dust fills the image, shining brightest in the centre in shades of green, brown and orange. Some pink stars are also visible. Darker brown dust surrounds this bright central region.
