The star-forming region NGC 2024 in the constellation Orion
The spectacular star-forming region known as the Flame Nebula, or NGC 2024, in the constellation of Orion and its surroundings. Taken in infrared wavelengths, the cluster of very young stars at the objectas heart is revealed. Also visible is the glow of the reflection nebula NGC 2023, just below centre, and the ghostly outline of the Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) towards the lower right. The bright bluish star towards the right is one of the three bright stars forming the Belt of Orion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring star-forming region NGC 2024 in the constellation Orion. Known as the Flame Nebula, this spectacular celestial phenomenon and its surroundings are beautifully captured in infrared wavelengths. At the heart of this image lies a cluster of very young stars, their brilliance shining through even in the vastness of space. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to the ethereal glow of the reflection nebula NGC 2023 just below center. And towards the lower right, we catch a glimpse of the ghostly outline known as Barnard 33 or more commonly referred to as the Horsehead Nebula. Its enigmatic shape adds an element of mystery to this cosmic tableau. Amongst these celestial wonders, a bright bluish star stands out on the right side – one of three that form Orion's Belt. Their presence reminds us that even within such immense beauty and grandeur, there is order and structure. The colors within this image are vibrant and multi-colored - from reds and oranges to yellows and blues - creating a truly majestic expanse that stretches beyond our imagination. The interplay between light and cosmic dust gives rise to stunning reflections and illuminations throughout. In capturing this breathtaking scene, photographer Robert Gendler invites us into a world where stellar nurseries flourish amidst molecular clouds. This print serves as a reminder of both our insignificance in comparison to such vastness yet also our ability to appreciate its profound beauty.
