At first glance, the most prominent thing one notices is the dark red clouds conglomerated and spanning across this image. The contrast with the blue stars and dark red clouds provides for a brilliant image of the cosmos. One can mouse over the image to reveal extensive information about the constellation and also the many celestial objects located in this image. One of these clouds, known as the Great Orion Nebula, is the closest large star-forming region to us, being located only 1,500 years away. The image has been enhanced in order for one to more easily make out normally faint hydrogen tendrils, among other many more much more normally faint celestial objects.
