This colorful rendition of part of the constellation of Orion comes from red light emitted by hydrogen and sulfur (SII), and blue-green light emitted by oxygen (OIII). Hues on the featured image were then digitally reassigned to be indicative of their elemental origins &#8212; but also striking to the human eye. The breathtaking composite was painstakingly composed from hundreds of images which took nearly 200 hours to collect. Pictured, Barnard&#8217;s Loop, across the image bottom, appears to cradle interstellar constructs including the intricate Orion Nebula seen just right of center. The Flame Nebula can also be quickly located, but it takes a careful eye to identify the slight indentation of the dark Horsehead Nebula. As to Orion&#8217;s flashiness &#8212; a leading explanation for the origin of Barnard&#8217;s Loop is a supernova blast that occurred about two million years ago. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap181014.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When did Orion become so flashy?
