Shown here is the clumps of gas and dust from the Orion Nebula. Orion variables are most commonly associated with diffuse nebulae.

The team image overlays data from two of the telescope’s instruments – the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3.

The data has been layered at visible and infrared wavelengths to reveal the details of the area.
