Image: Orion Nebula - Hubble 2006 mosaic 18000

Description: In one of the most detailed astronomical images ever produced, NASA/ESA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an unprecedented look at the Orion Nebula. ... This extensive study took 105 Hubble orbits to complete. All imaging instruments aboard the telescope were used simultaneously to study Orion. The Advanced Camera mosaic covers approximately the apparent angular size of the full moon. Coordinates Position (RA): 5 35 9.73 Position (Dec): -5° 24' 50.32" Field of view: 30.03 x 30.03 arcminutes Orientation: North is 0.0° left of vertical Colours & filter Band Wavelength Telescope Optical B 435 nm Hubble Space Telescope ACS Optical V 555 nm Hubble Space Telescope ACS Optical H-alpha 658 nm Hubble Space Telescope ACS Infrared I 775 nm Hubble Space Telescope ACS Infrared Z 850 nm Hubble Space Telescope ACS Notes: Additional observational data from the WFI instrument on the ESO.MPG 2.2-metre telescope.
