A new image of the Orion Nebula created using data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and NEOWISE shows the star-forming region in stunning detail.

The Orion Nebula (M42) is one of the most impressive sights in the night sky — part of a complex of hydrogen gas that is producing a new generation of stars. It makes a terrific target during ...

Orion is one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky, and within the constellation is a nebula that is a busy region of star formation.

The Orion Bar is the fairly straight, diagonal feature that marks the transition from the hot ionized gas near the Trapezium stars to the cold molecular cloud on the other side of the bar.

The new image shows bright stars and a ‘stellar embryo’ lurking within the heart of the gigantic stellar nursery. The James Webb Space Telescope has turned its gaze to the Orion Nebula ...

Detailed images of the Orion Nebula were captured by the James Webb telescope. Production of the images involved over 100 scientists from 18 countries, per AFP.

The Orion Nebula is home to a massive group of stars called the Trapezium Cluster. This group of young stars emits intense ultraviolet radiation, shaping the surrounding cloud of dust and gas.

A new study lends support to the notion that JuMBOs (Jupiter-mass binary objects) discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope in 2023 may be fiction rather than fact.

Three years into its mission, Webb continues to deliver on its design – revealing previously hidden aspects of the universe, from the star formation process to some of the earliest galaxies,” said ...

A starry “sword” hangs from Orion’s belt, and the large, bright star near the tip of the sword isn’t actually a star — it’s a whole nebula, a cloud of gas, dust, and newborn stars, 24 ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the most detailed image of the Orion Nebula that sits 1,350 light years from Earth - one light-year is about six trillion miles.

“Breathtaking” images of a stellar nursery in the Orion Nebula taken by the James Webb Space Telescope are revealing intricate details about how stars and planetary systems form.
