The sky on
your birthday.
In the Center of the Trapezium
The Great Nebula in Orion, M42, is a star factory. In the very center of this stellar nursery is a bright cluster called the Trapezium. The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image, showing young stars and protoplanetary disks, or proplyds. These proplyds are gas and dust, forming new solar systems.
