ALMA Reveals Inner Web of Stellar Nursery<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This spectacular and unusual image shows part of the famous Orion Nebula, a star formation region lying about 1350 light-years from Earth. It combines a mosaic of millimetre wavelength images from the Atacama Large Millimeter\/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the IRAM 30-metre telescope, shown in red, with a more familiar infrared view from the HAWK-I instrument on ESO\u2019s Very Large Telescope, shown in blue. The group of bright blue-white stars at the left is the Trapezium Cluster\u00a0\u2014 made up of hot young stars that are only a few million years old.

New data from the Atacama Large Millimeter\/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and other telescopes have been used to create this stunning image showing a web of filaments in the Orion Nebula. These features appear red-hot and fiery in this dramatic picture, but in reality are so cold that astronomers must use telescopes like ALMA to observe them.<\/p>\n
