This is not what the nebula looks like now—it’s how it looked about the time David became king of Israel.
I’m assuming this is from the HST; the NASA website doesn’t seem to identify the source telescope.
Beautiful, SunkenCiv!
“Mom, he’s looking at me again!”
Sorry, that was my first reaction.
I too, like the term “star stuff.”
Just think if the sky was dark enough and our eyes were able to actually see these things instead of having to take time laps photos.
When I was young, I could see colors in the Orion Nebula, but, no more. :(
