Orion Nebula

The Orion Nebula is a massive cloud of gas and dust located around 1,350 light-years away in the constellation Orion. It is one of the brightest and most easily visible nebulae to the naked eye, appearing as a fuzzy, glowing patch in the sky. The nebula is a stellar nursery where new stars are forming from the dense gas, and it also contains young stars emitting intense radiation that illuminates the surrounding material. Its vibrant colors and intricate structures make it a key site for studying star formation and the early stages of stellar development.
