Apod 3.2

This is the Great Nebula inside Orion. It is visible to the naked eye as a small fuzzy patch. This image is an illusory-color composite of four different colors of infrared light. The green glow in the image is caused by the reflection of the light of the stars off of dust filaments that are scattered throughout the region.
