An amazing new look at the Orion nebula complex

[pmrid (Peter)]

Have a look at the images that have been published by the BBC on this link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22217334

You'll never be able to see either the Horsehead or the larger structure in the same light. This is far infra-red imaging and is a must-see.
