Description
The Orion Nebula steals the show in Orion's Belt, but the Running Man cluster just above it, and the fainter Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula glow near one of the stars in Orion's Belt. The Orion Nebula is easily visible as a diffuse glow in Orion's Sword. The beautiful colors are from hydrogen gas being excited by the energy of the stars around them, and can only be photographed with long exposures to capture the dim light.
