Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
IC 423 and IC 426 reflection nebulae
IC 423 and IC 426 reflection nebulae, optical image. IC 423 is at lower right; IC 426 at upper left. These nebulae are reflection nebulae in the constellation Orion. Reflection nebulae are clouds of dust and gas that do not emit their own light, but reflect the light of bright nearby stars. They appear blue because blue light is scattered more than red. At the edges of the frame are bright regions surrounding two of the three stars of Orions belt. At the bottom lies Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis), the central star of the belt, and to the right is Mintaka (Delta Orionis)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of IC 423 and IC 426 reflection nebulae, two ethereal clouds of dust and gas nestled within the constellation Orion. Illuminated by the radiant glow of nearby stars, these nebulae do not emit their own light but instead reflect the brilliance of their celestial neighbors. The stunning blue hue that envelops them is a result of blue light being scattered more than red. As we explore this image further, our gaze is drawn to the edges where bright regions encircle two out of three stars comprising Orions belt. At the lower right lies Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis), serving as the central star in this celestial trio, while Mintaka (Delta Orionis) gracefully adorns the right side. Silhouetted against an expanse of space, this photograph transports us into a realm where stellar formation takes place and star birth unfolds. It offers a glimpse into the intricate dance between cosmic matter and astrophysical forces that shape our universe's evolution. With its delicate nebulosity and glowing presence, IC 423 and IC 426 remind us of both our insignificance in comparison to the vastness of space and our profound connection to it. This awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge in unraveling the mysteries hidden within these distant clouds.
