Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (4/20/2025): The Orion Nebula in Visible and Infrared
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 20 The Orion Nebula in Visible and Infrared Image Credit & Copyright: Infrared: NASA, Spitzer Space Telescope; Visible: Oliver Czernetz, Siding Spring Obs. Explanation: The Great Nebula in Orion is a colorful place. Visible to the unaided eye, it appears as a small fuzzy patch in the constellation of Orion. Long exposure, multi-wavelength images like this, however, show the Orion Nebula to be a busy neighborhood of young stars, hot gas, and dark dust. This digital composite features not only three colors of visible light but four colors of infrared light taken by NASA's orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope as well. The power behind much of the Orion Nebula (M42) is the Trapezium - four of the brightest stars in the nebula. Many of the filamentary structures visible are actually shock waves - fronts where fast moving material encounters slow moving gas. The Orion Nebula spans about 40 light years and is located about 1500 light years away in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun.

Inspiring Quotes for Sunday, April 20, 2025
Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy. Anne Truitt Anne Truitt¡¯s words, published as a collection of excerpts from her personal journal in 1982, remind us that real love means seeing and appreciating people for who they are. ¡°The opposite of inattention is love,¡± she wrote. The renowned artist was known for her large-scale minimalist sculptures, but her written words convey a lesser-known aspect of her artistry, one full of wisdom and care for her fellow humans.
