Mesmerizing. ✨ Captivating. 😍 How would you describe the Orion Nebula? ⁣ ⁣ Fun fact: inside this nearby stellar nursery is an action-packed bar! The Orion Bar, that is. Located diagonally in the lower left quadrant of this image, the Orion Bar formed by young, massive stars blasting ultraviolet light at the cloud of dust and gas from which they're born, sculpting it into the shape of a bar. ⁣ ⁣ More like a layered cake than your favorite watering hole, this location’s different zones will be studied for the first time by a team of international scientists using our James Webb Space Telescope.

I took the most recent HST picture of the Pillars of Creation and edited it in quite an extreme way in order to bring out and/or emphasize all its spectacular structures and details. It's just unbelievable and breathtaking. Credits: NASA, ESA and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA).
