PIX4617657: Orion Nebula (M42 - 43) - The Orion Nebula - Located 1500 years ago - the Orion Nebula is the closest region to the formation of stars of the Sun. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. The Orion Nebula is famous for a number of reasons. It is the nearest bright nebula to us and can be seen with the naked eye. Its brightness led to it being the first nebula ever photographed (in 1882) and its proximity (1500 light years) means that we know more about it than any other star - forming region. It is also in a very active stage of star formation and it is perfectly placed for us to explore the intimate details of the birth of stars. The inner regions are glowing mainly in the red light of excited hydrogen, which together with some green emission from oxygen give the centre of the nebula a yellowish colour. The energy for this spectacular display comes from the small cluster of stars in the brightest part of the nebula. Three, five - minute exposures were used to make this picture using the Anglo - Australian Telescope at Siding Spring / Bridgeman Images
PIX4617663: Orion Nebula (M42 - 43) - The Orion Nebula, M42 and M43 - Located 1500 years - light, the Orion Nebula is the closest star-forming region of the Sun.

TEC4617695: La cupole des Galeries Lafayette, 38-46ae boulevard Haussmann, Paris 9e. In 1906 the owners Alphonse Kahn and Theophile Bader entrusted the architect Georges Chedanne (1861-1940) with the construction of a new stone building Boulevard Haussmann. In view of the success of this new concept, Ferdinand Chanut extended the building in 1910-12. / Bridgeman Images
TEC4617894: Lycee Condorcet, 8 rue du Havre, Paris 9th. Its setting is partly a historical monument since it is located in the buildings of the Capuchin convent of Saint Louis Díantine, built in the decennia of 1780 by the neoclassical architect Alexandre Theodore Brongniart (1739-1813) and became a national property of 1789. Founded in 1803, the lycee has many names, reflecting the political evolution of France (Lycee Bonaparte, then Bourbon, Fontanes and finally Condorcet / Bridgeman Images
PIX4618601: Nebula of the cone NGC 2264 in the Unicorn - The Cone Nebula in Monoceros - Region H II located about 2600 years - light from Earth. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. The Cone nebula is part of an enormous cloud of hydrogen and tiny solid particles associated with the loose open cluster, NGC 2226 in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros. Within and around this cloud are many recently formed stars, some completely hidden within the dense interstellar matter. They can be detected by special infra - red techniques which are able to penetrate the obscuration. The largest of the dust clouds is the curious straight - sided feature which gives this object its name / Bridgeman Images
PIX4618663: Cone Nebula NGC 2264 in the Unicorn - The Cone Nebula NGC 2264 in Monoceros - The Cone Nebula is a region H II located about 2600 years from Earth. It is accompanied by a cluster of stars called the Christmas tree. The bright star at the top is S Monocerotis, a star of magnitude 4.7. Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope, composite of several images. Total installation of 52 hours. The Cone Nebula (also known as NGC 2264) is an H II region in the constellation of Monoceros. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1785. The nebula is located about 800 parsecs or 2,600 light - years away from Earth. The Cone Nebula is part of the nebulosity surrounding the Christmas Tree Cluster. The designation of NGC 2264 in the New General Catalogue refers to both objects and not the nebula alone. The brightest star on top of the image is S Monocerotis. This image was created by stitching six separate photographs, featuring over 52 total hours of exposure, into a single seamless mosaic. The exposures were taken during the fall of 2008 through a remotely controlled 20 inch Ritchey - Chretien telescope using a large format SBIG STL - 11000 camera / Bridgeman Images
