APOD 6



This image shows the constellation of Orion surrounded by dust clouds. M78 is located left of the center slightly north of Orion's Belt. The different shades shown in the photo represent the temperature differations, blue being hotter and red being cooler. I chose this photo because I found it really intriguing to see a constellation I could recognize in the sky outside in a galactic, colored perspective and be able to really appreciate more than just the location and figure of the constellation.
