The Orion Nebula is one of the most iconic objects in the night sky. It’s also a hotbed for star formation, with hundreds of stars spread out across a relatively small patch.

This wide-field image of the Eagle Nebula was taken at the National Science Foundation’s 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak with the NOAO Mosaic CCD camera.

A nebula is a cloud of gas in space. The Eagle Nebula is 6,500 light-years away from Earth, which is quite close by astronomical standards. This nebula is a site of vigorous star formation.

The lanes and clouds of dust in the star-forming Orion Nebula (M42) reveal a dark dimension to this familiar object. ... the darkness appears segmented into three main parts oriented west-east.

The Saturn Nebula was originally a low-mass star, ... MUSE has also created the first 3D map of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula and imaged a spectacular cosmic crash in a nearby galaxy .
