Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 imaged this region of the Orion Nebula (M42). The nebula’s gas clouds form a stellar nursery, a region of ongoing star formation.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image peers into the dusty recesses of the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth, ...

The Orion Nebula (Messier 42) is the nearest star-forming region to Earth. It is located in the Orion Constellation, just below Orion's Belt.

More (M42 and M43) typically associated with Orion, this reflection nebula is part of the same great molecular cloud complex, and is lined with dust and brilliant blue stars.

The nebula's official name is Messier 42, or simply M42. And if you want to see it for yourself, now's the time. NASA says that the best month for viewing the Orion Nebula is January.

This observation was also part of a Hubble mosaic of the Orion Nebula, which combined 520 ACS images in five different colours to create the sharpest view ever taken of the region.

This wide-field view of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42), lying about 1350 light-years from Earth, was taken with the VISTA infrared survey telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile.
