Orion nebula. Hubble Space Telescope mosaic of the Orion nebula (M42; NGC 1976), which is 1500 light years away in the constellation Orion. This is one of the most detailed astronomical images ever produced (as of 2006). It shows thousands of stars never seen before in visible light. Nebulae are huge clouds of interstellar gas and dust. This is an emission nebula, a region of starbirth. It glows r Stock Photo - Royalty-Freenull, Code: 679-02684142

Starbirth. Computer illustration of a newborn star (upper left) shining through the nebula from which it was formed. The new star's solar wind is blowing a hole in the surrounding gas. Stars form from clouds of gas which collapse due to gravitational attraction until the particles are hot and dense enough for nuclear reactions to begin. The energy from these reactions balances the collapse and bl Stock Photo - Royalty-Freenull, Code: 679-02684145

M43, an emission nebula that is part of the Orion nebula. The larger part of the nebula (known as M42) is out of frame at lower right. The region glows pink as the hydrogen gas it contains is ionised by radiation from the hot young stars born within it. Dark lanes of dust (across bottom) separate M43 from M42. These are only seen as they are silhouetted against the bright nebula behind them. The n Stock Photo - Royalty-Freenull, Code: 679-02684143

Starbirth region N66, Hubble Space Telescope image. At centre is the star cluster NGC 346, where hot young stars are producing radiation and stellar winds that are sculpting and impacting the surrounding gas and dust, causing it to glow (pink colour). The visible ridge-like structure of dark nebulae (across top) are dust globules where new stars may be forming. The N66 starbirth region is 210,000 Stock Photo - Royalty-Freenull, Code: 679-02684148
