The Orion Nebula (Messier 42)
Price range: $10.00 through $18.00
Description
The Orion Nebula, also known as Messier 42, is one of the brightest nebulae visible to the naked eye. It lies at the heart of Orion’s Sword, just 1,344 light-years away. This vast stellar nursery glows with the light of newborn stars, most famously the Trapezium Cluster, whose intense ultraviolet radiation sculpts towering clouds of hydrogen, oxygen, and dust into intricate shapes. To the north, the faint Running Man Nebula (NGC 1977) appears as a ghostly reflection figure sprinting across the cosmic backdrop.
This image combines 10 hours data captured from my backyard in Williamsburg, Virginia, revealing the nebula’s vivid reds and teals, delicate dark lanes, and the subtle blue reflection glow of the Running Man. A perfect centerpiece for any room.
