Meet Orion – The Hunter in the Sky! 🌟⁠ ⁠ One of the most recognizable constellations, Orion dominates the night sky with its bright stars and stunning nebulae.⁠ ⁠ ✨ What makes Orion special?⁠ 🔹 Orion’s Belt – Three stars in a perfect row.⁠ 🔹 Betelgeuse – A giant red star that could explode one day! 💥⁠ 🔹 Rigel – A dazzling blue supergiant.⁠ ⁠ ☁️ Orion’s Nebulas⁠ 🌠 Orion Nebula (M42) – A birthplace of new stars.⁠ 🐴 Horsehead Nebula – A dark cloud with a striking shape.⁠ ⁠ 🔭 How to find Ori

Our newest spacecraft, Orion, will be launching into space for the first time this morning on a flight that will take it farther than any spacecraft built to carry humans has gone in more than 40 years and through temperatures twice as hot as molten lava to put its critical systems to the test.

Explore this 360-degree tour of the Orion Nebula, which reveals a glowing gaseous landscape shaped by high-energy radiation and strong stellar winds. This movie combines observations from NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, presenting distinct features in the nebula that are uncovered by different wavelengths of light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiqfafdHn9k&feature=youtu.be Credits: NASA, ESA, F.

The Orion Nebula: Panning across a deep infrared image | ESO Support us at FriendsofNASA.org: This video gives a close-up view of a spectacular new image of the Orion Nebula star-formation region that was obtained from multiple exposures using the HAWK-I infrared camera on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. This is one of the deepest views ever of this region and it revealed many more very faint planetary-mass objects than expected. Credits: European Southern Observatory (ESO)/H. Drass et al.
