M42 - Orion Nebula Messier 42 or M42 (also designated NGC 1976) is anebulain the constellationOrion. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4 and its angular diameter is 85x60 arc-minutes. M42 lies at an estimated distance of 1600 light years. The Equinox 2000 coordinates are RA= 5h 35....
This is the highest point of the ecliptic, where the sun is located at summer solstice. Members of the IAS were on hand to allow the public to view the moon, the Orion Nebula, the Pleiades and other night sky objects through binoculars and telescopes. A very enjoyable event!
but you’ll find it a little too restrictive for the neighboring Hyades cluster. The Orion Nebula was also outstanding, with three of the Trapezium stars being easily seen and a stream of stars to the north and south forming the Sword of Orion. ...
You’ll find this well-studied nebula just below the three distinctive stars of Orion’s belt. In a relatively short span of time (astronomically speaking), tens of thousands of new stars have formed withinthis region. The iconic shape of “Orion the Hunter” is instantly recognizable, is we...
This image is a color composite mosaic image of the central part of the Orion Nebula, based on 81 images obtained with the infrared ISAAC instrument on the ESO Very Large Telescope. The main four stars of the Trapezium cluster (roughly 0.15 light-year in size) are visible in the center ...
Orion nebula. Coloured composite infrared and visible light image of the Orion nebula M42. This emission nebula, a cloud of gas and dust in which starbirth takes place, is found in the constellation Orion, some 1500 light years from Earth. Glowing clouds of ionised hydrogen and sulphur gases...
So, data that had been originally been collected for a ESO science project, with no intention of being made into a color image, have now been reused to create this stunning and richly detailed picture of the Orion Nebula.
