COSMIC MESSAGE

The Orion Nebula region is a busy place, filled with newborn stars, gas, and dust about 1,500 light-years away. This image shows reflection nebulae, which are dust clouds lit by the reflected light of nearby stars. Here, the dust is illuminated by the light from the Orion Nebula itself.
