M42 Orion Nebula with Extra Oomph (aka data)

I acquired some extra data of M42 last night, and applied that to what was captured last month. Better!!!

 

The Great Nebula in Orion. Lots of gaseous goodness can be seen here. The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted new planets being formed around some of the stars in this image, the stars themselves being quite new, relatively speaking. This nebula lies around 1300 light years away.
