Of course, when you study the Orion nebula with a 6.5-meter-wide space telescope tuned to infrared light, your view becomes exponentially better.

“Breathtaking” images of a stellar nursery in the Orion Nebula taken by the James Webb Space Telescope are revealing intricate details about how stars and planetary systems form.

The Orion Nebula is a region of star formation 1,350 light-years from Earth, located in the belt of the northern hemisphere constellation of Orion. It has long been studied by astronomers, ...

Roughly 1,300 light years away, the Orion Nebula can sometimes be seen with the naked eye from Earth. Now, researchers have captured the most detailed images of the gigantic nebula to date.

Within the Orion Nebula lies the Orion Bar, a sharp, diagonal, ridge-like feature of gas and dust. The Orion Bar is essentially the edge of an astronomically large bubble carved out by some of the ...

New images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope pierce through thick layers of stardust and gas, revealing the most-detailed look yet into the heart of the Orion Nebula.. In 2017, an ...

The Orion Nebula is located just 1,350 light-years away from Earth. Because of its relative closeness to Earth, the star-bearing nebula has been a study point for astronomers for decades.

Observations by the James Webb Space Telescope show that a compact disk of gas and dust around a young star in the Orion Nebula is losing massive amounts of hydrogen each year.The disk, known as a ...
