The Orion Nebula

The Orion Nebula
Image of the Orion Nebula acquired by the Spitzer space telescope. It shows the turbulent events in this conglomeration of young stars and the gas and dust clouds from which these stars have formed and others are still forming. In one of its first observation flights, FIFI-LS has also observed this active star forming region.
