Paper: G. Beccari, et al. Tale of Three Cities: OmegaCAM uncovers three discrete episodes of star formation in the Orion Nebula Cluster. Astronomy and Astrophysics DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201730432 ...

The Orion Nebula is laden with protoplanetary disks: future solar systems. Visible light views showcase stars, emission, and reflection nebulae.

It's the earliest stage of planet formation ever seen by scientists. The new planetary system is taking shape around HOPS-315 ...

The Orion Nebula is classified as an emission nebula — a cosmic cloud of dust and gas that shines by emitting its own light. Recent studies place its distance at about 1,300 light-years.
