Messier 42 Arcs and Bubbles


This Star forming region is Nicknamed the Arcs and Bubbles of the Orion Nebula. It was given this name by the Hubble space telescope team. In the Center of the image there is a small faint bubble around a bright star. This bubble was created by strong stellar winds. The Arcs below the Bubble were also created by stellar winds in this violent region of the Orion Nebula. Also Notable are the Fainter wisps and pillars which point to the stars that created them.
