Orion

An image of Betelgeuse in millimeter wavelengths shows a huge hotspot in its atmosphere caused by hot gas rising from its interior. Blobs like this can change the star’s brightness considerably. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/E. O’Gorman/P. Kervella

Cold gas and dust in Orion form filaments with bundles of individual “fibers” about a light year long. The four bright stars (left) are the Trapezium, the center of the famous Orion Nebula. ​​​​​​​Credit: ESO/H. Drass/ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/A. Hacar
