This picture is a picture of Orion. It shows us that Orion is not just the three stars on the belt that everyone knows, but a collection of nebula and gas that is astounding when looked at with the help of a telescope and a little underwhelming when attempting to view with the unaided eye. in fact the lowest star in the belt is not even a star at all. It is actually a nebula called the flame nebula. Orion is also home to one of the nebulas that has the most recognized shape named the horsehead nebula.
