M42-the Great Orion Nebula-is prominent in our night sky from now until February. There is so much beauty to behold in a shot like this! The new stars being formed in the bright region are blowing out the highlights of the data. I love the clouds and wisps of the Hydrogen region! Truly one of the wonders of our heavens, declaring glory from end to end!
