Artist's Description
The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated south of Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky.

I have taken the original public domain image (credit: NASA,ESA, and the Hubble Space Telescope Orion Treasury Project Team) and digitally enhanced and re-coloured it to create this striking version.
