Astrophotography of Orion Nebula

Most of the stars in the Orion Nebula were formed 2-3 million years ago, and their actual age is less than one thousandth of that of the sun and the earth. Orion Nebula is one of the most important objects photographed by astrophotography enthusiasts and large telescopes of the Observatory. For astronomy enthusiasts, M42 is a deep space object worth seeing: you can watch it with a small telescope or binoculars. For astronomers, this nebula is a hot research object, from large ground telescopes to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Orion Nebula is also one of the most important targets for astrophotography enthusiasts and large telescopes of the Observatory.

Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, violent and chaotic movements of gas and a large number of photon stars nearby.

People can see M42 as long as they have a pair of binoculars or a small telescope. If the environment is ideal, you can capture the pink light of Orion and Orion nebula with a wide-angle lens camera for five minutes. The fineness of shooting the nearby nebula is also a test of astrophotography, telescope resolution and post-processing kung fu.

From 2004 to 2005, scientists from the American Institute of Space Telescope Science and the European Space Agency used the advanced surveying and mapping camera carried on the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the Orion Nebula, and obtained the panoramic photos with the highest resolution. Looking at Orion nebula with ordinary binoculars, it is like a firebird spreading its wings and flying, so it is also called firebird nebula and flame nebula, but it is not commonly used.

Hubble Space Telescope has taken the clearest panoramic picture of Orion Nebula so far (as of June 65438 +654381October +20061October 0). This photo not only shows the birth of a large number of stars, but also contains rare brown dwarfs. The Orion Nebula is about 1500 light-years away from the solar system. It is the nearest star birth place in the Milky Way, containing thousands of newborn stars and columnar interstellar dust clouds that gave birth to stars. It has long been a "hot spot" observed by astronomers.

In the first month of 2007, the quadrant meteor shower kicked off the 2007 Sky Show. This month, the sun moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn, and you can enjoy the Orion Nebula, which is the most spectacular constellation in winter.

Orion is the most spectacular constellation in the winter sky. Because of its huge brightness, it is also one of the best deep space objects observed in winter. The Great Orion Nebula, numbered M42, is an emission nebula located in the middle of Orion's sword. The mass of the entire Orion Nebula is about100000 times that of the sun. This is a famous star birth area, and many "globules" in the nebula are protostars in the process of formation.
