The bright stars of the Orion constellation seen within a skyscape of fainter stars, gas and dust, which is invisible to the naked eye.
Orion is laid out from left to right in this photograph while a huge cloud of gas and dust in which new stars are forming lies below the three stars of Orion’s belt; bright red and blue supergiant stars mark his shoulder and knee.
The long exposure time and use of special filters allows us to see the hidden beauty behind this familiar constellation.
