The Orion Nebula (M42) appears in triplicate: (left to right) in visible light from the Hubble Space Telescope, in the near infrared from Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and in the mid-infrared from SOFIA. This third view, from December 2010, combines images at 19.7 and 37.1 microns (colored green and red, respectively). All panels have the same scale and orientation and show different aspects of Orion: first, hot stars, glowing hydrogen gas, and obscuring dust clouds; second, cool young stars; and third, warm dust.
