A Reflection Nebula in Orion - space

Just weeks after NASA astronauts repaired the Hubble Space Telescope in December 1999, the Hubble Heritage Project snapped this picture of NGC 1999, a nebula in the constellation Orion. The Heritage astronomers, in collaboration with scientists in Texas and Ireland, used Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) to obtain this colour image.\r\n\r\n\r\nCredit:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNASA/ESA and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI\r\n
