An infrared image of the Orion Nebula

Orion Nebula

If you can get away from the light pollution of cities and roads, it’s possible to see the Orion Nebula with the naked eye. Find Orion’s Belt in the constellation named for the mythic Greek hunter and you can see the fuzzy reddish and blue nebula. Your glimpse won’t be quite as detailed as this infrared image taken by the HAWK-I camera used by NASA, but at least now you know what to look for.
