SOFIA opens new window on star formation in Orion

A mid-infrared mosaic image from the SOFIA airborne observatory offers new information about processes of star formation in and around the nebula Messier 42, in the constellation Orion. The image data were acquired the first scientific flights in December 2010, at wavelengths of 19.7 and 37.1 microns. The latter wavelength is not currently observed from either ground space-based observatories.
