Orion Nebula

This amazing picture of the Orion Nebula was one of the first that the Spitzer Space Telescope took after its coolant ran out in May, 2009. They intend to use Spitzer to take pictures of the same spot over and over to see what has changed.

    When I first saw this with the telescope at my university I almost felt off the stairs from excitement.
