The Orion A star-formation cloud seen by ESA’s Herschel space observatory on Aug. 26, 2013. The Orion Nebula is located within the central bright region of this scene, where massive star formation is most intense. Cooler gas and dust is seen in red and yellow, with point-like sources the seeds of new stars.
