See it on NASA's siteIntricate nebulae are often too faint for the naked eye, making their true scale hard to grasp. This composite image covers a wide region of the northern winter sky, totaling 40 hours of exposure. It reveals the nebula-rich expanse known as the Orion-Eridanus Superbubble. This mosaic helps us appreciate the vastness and beauty of these celestial structures.
