A new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows two protostars in the Orion Nebula, a diffuse nebula located approximately 1,350 light-years away in the constellation of Orion. The Orion ...

Many know the Great Orion Nebula (M42) in Orion’s Sword as a bright diffuse nebula — a glowing cloud of cosmic gas illuminated by the Trapezium star cluster. But the Orion Nebula also has a ...

Situated 1,300 light-years away beneath the three stars of Orion’s Belt, the nebula is a hotspot for star formation, where young protostars emerge from dense clouds of gas and dust.

As you explore the dark Orion Nebula, keep in mind that you are exploring territories few have bothered to visually tread - at least in fine detail. As always, send what you see or don't see to ...

What's the old saying? A watched kettle (or star?) never boils? Our object of interest in this feature is M42, the Orion nebula. The 'M' stands for Messier catalogue objects, that name coming from the ...

HOPS 153 is a significantly younger stellar object than its neighbor, still deeply embedded in its birth nebula and enshrouded by a cloud of cold, dense gas. While Hubble cannot penetrate this gas to ...

These smudges of color become troves of scientific data. Take for example the Orion Nebula. Forming the middle "star" in Orion's sword, the Orion Nebula is the only nebula visible to the naked eye.

The Horsehead Nebula is a part of much larger complex in the constellation Orion. Known collectively as the Orion Molecular Cloud, it also houses other famous objects, such as the Great Orion Nebula.

Between two clusters of new stars sits the famed Orion Nebula, all of which look like one bright star surrounded by a shadowy ghoulish nebula. You’ll see some features, but not all that many ...

Gaze deeper into the night sky with the best deep space telescopes, perfect for stunning views of the Beehive Cluster, the Orion Nebula and other cosmic wonders. Are you looking for a telescope to ...

We are staring "right down the barrel of it, which is really quite surprising to me — we're just lucky." One of the most photographed objects in the night sky is the Ring Nebula, wreckage of a ...
