My Backyard in the Orion Nebula
May 15, 2008
Call me an adult with an overactive imagination, a dreamer or a delusional geek but sometimes I just can’t help but wonder … What would my backyard look like if Earth was a little closer to the Orion Nebula?
Ah, now that’s worth pulling out the deck chairs and a pondering over a tequila sunrise.
Hubble’s Sharpest View of the Orion Nebula:
The Orion Nebula is a cavern of tumultuous gas and dust where thousands of stars are forming. The energy released by the young stars transforms their place of birth, whipping their surroundings into fantastic forms.

Dale,
That’s a very cool photo mash-up. I’m a big fan of the Hubble photos too. Unfortunately here in light-polluted Chicago we’ve got a pretty blank canvas for a sky.

I guess I’m pretty lucky living out of the city lights and on the side of a small mountain. We get beautiful views of the stars and the Milkyway each clear night. However, wouldn’t this view be grand!
@Claire
Yeah, me too … I guess I can dream
@Cybasumo
lol, well, I would probably be scared but the awesome nature of the scene would make me soon forget my anxiety. Besides, I’ve always wanted to be an astronaut explorer … I’d be the first to sign up for a chance to set foot on the Red Planet
