The Orion Nebula (M42), located about 1,350 light-years away in the constellation Orion, is one of the most studied regions of star formation. It is a vast stellar nursery where new stars and planetary systems are being born. The nebula’s intricate structure and vibrant colors provide valuable insights into the processes of stellar birth and evolution, making it a key object of study in astrophysics.
