- NASA's powerful Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope combined to captured stunning images of the Orion Nebula.
- The nebula, which is a massive mixture of various gases and heated matter surrounding young stars, was shot in various wavelengths.

Well, the new year is officially here, and while many places that traditionally celebrate the birth of a new batch of 365 days have had to cancel their annual fireworks displays, you can always count on NASA to find some fireworks happening somewhere in the cosmos.

The image is of the Orion Nebula, a massive collection of swirling gasses surrounding some very young but very large stars. The two telescopes captured the same image in different wavelengths of light, offering us a glimpse of this region of space like we've never seen it before.
