Bluish-white stars, as well as red and yellow stars shine brightly in this part of the cosmos, while clouds of dust and gas hover around. At the center of the most famous of all astronomy nebulas — the Great Nebula in Orion — the star-forming nebula, the M43, can be spotted.
The Great Nebula in Orion can be found with the unaided eye near the easily identifiable belt of three stars in the popular constellation Orion. The entire Orion Nebula, including both M42 and M43 spans about 40 light years and is located in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun.
Beautiful.
