Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 imaged this region of the Orion Nebula (M42). The nebula’s gas clouds form a stellar nursery, a region of ongoing star formation.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image peers into the dusty recesses of the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth, the Orion Nebula (Messier 42, M42). Just 1,500 light-years away, the ...
