  • 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.
  • The image looks like a painting, but it's actually a thing that exists, reminding us how beautiful space can be.

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. In a new blog post, NASA has chosen to highlight a stunning image that is actually the combination of observations by both the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

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.
