NGC 1976 (Orion Nebula)

This upload is dedicated to shimmering star babies.
I invite you to close your eyes and blast into the Orion Nebula, a birthplace of stars nestled in the middle "star" of Orion's sword.
NGC 1976 is among the brightest celestial entities in the Milky Way and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The light we see from the nebula today started its journey toward us a casual 1,344 years ago. We see a snapshot of stars being born, exploding into existence. Yet they are now over a millennium old.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for listening!
