More of M42 and M43

These images show the Great Orion Nebula M42 (NGC 1976) together with its

smaller neighbor, de Mairan’s Nebula M43 (NGC 1982), which is actually a part

of the Great Nebula. These bright nebulae are actually the brightest part of

a huge cloud of interstellar gas and dust which

is several hundred light years across.

This image was obtained by Sven Kohle and Till Credner of
