NGC 1977: Blue Reflection Nebula in Orion

NASA APOD · Anglo-Australian Telescope Board
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Orion Nebula is a fuzzy patch visible without aid near Orion's belt. This picture shows a part of the Orion Nebula that reflects light from bright stars. This reflection nebula appears blue because blue light scatters more efficiently from the nebula's gas than red light. The dark lanes are interstellar dust, fine carbon grains.
