NGC 1977: Blue Reflection Nebula in Orion

COSMIC MESSAGE
The Orion Nebula is a fuzzy patch visible to the unaided eye near Orion's belt. This image captures NGC 1977, a part of the Orion Nebula that reflects light from bright Orion stars. This reflection nebula appears blue because blue light from neighboring stars scatters more efficiently from the nebula's gas than red light. The dark lanes are interstellar dust, mostly fine, needle-shaped carbon grains.
