THE IMAGE

The Orion Nebula, a diffuse nebula, is one of the brightest and most prominent nebulae visible to the naked eye. It is a mere 1,344 light-years away, making it the closest region of massive star formation to our home planet. The Running Man Nebula, a reflection nebula, resides at a distance of 1,500 light-years. Both celestial wonders grace the constellation Orion and are vividly presented in HaRGB (True Color/Narrow-band Combination) with over 6 hours of exposure time.
