Rolf,
The young O-B stars in the Trapezium and close by are the "powerhouse" which illuminates the M42 gas cloud.....
A lot of the other stars around them are severely dimmed due to the interstellar dust and reddened into the NIR.
I agree, an animation moving across the spectrum would be a very neat project!
