APOD 3.2
The vibrant combination of colors is not true color, as the image was captured in infrared. False coloration was used to achieve the brilliant image of Orion in the infrared spectrum. Much of the light in this image originates from the Trapezium star center, which can be seen in the center of the image. The orange dust clouds reflect the light from these stars in their various cloudlike forms.
