THE WINTER ALWAYS BRINGS THE RETURN OF ONE
OF THE TRUE WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSE

THE
ORION NEBULA.

LOOK SOUTHEAST ANY NIGHT THIS WEEK AT AROUND
7:30PM AND YOU'LL SEE A CONSTELLATION

WHICH IS LOADED WITH BRIGHT STARS - ORION
THE HUNTER.

THE BEST WAY TO FIND HIM IS TO LOOK FOR HIS
BELT OF THREE STARS IN A ROW.

BUT HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT ORION FOR A WHILE
AND NOTICED THESE THREE MUCH DIMMER STARS,

THE SWORD OF ORION?

BECAUSE RIGHT THERE IS THE ORION NEBULA, A
GREAT COSMIC CLOUD WHERE NEW STARS ARE

BORN.

NEW STARS ARE FLAMING INTO EXISTENCE
THERE RIGHT NOW!

YOU CAN FIND FOUR OF THEM,
CALLED THE TRAPEZIUM, IN A SMALL TELESCOPE.

THE ORION NEBULA IS GIGANTIC; SPANNING OVER

LIGHT YEARS IN DIAMETER AND THERE'S ENOUGH
MATERIAL TO PRODUCE OVER 10 THOUSAND STARS

THE SIZE OF OUR SUN THAT WILL GO ON TO LIVE
FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS, MAYBE SPAWNING THEIR

OWN PLANETS THAT WILL LOOK BACK AT US -- WHILE
WE ..

KEEP LOOKING UP!
