Do you know which is the closest large star-forming region to Earth? You will be surprised to know that NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of the same. Orion Nebula is the closest large star-forming region to Earth. "520 exposures. Over a billion pixels. One mind-blowing image! This Hubble image shows the stunning Orion Nebula, which is the closest large star-forming region to Earth," Hubble tweeted.

Informing about the Orion Nebula, NASA said, "Believed to be the cosmic fire of creation by the Maya of Mesoamerica, M42 blazes brightly in the constellation Orion. Popularly called the Orion Nebula, this stellar nursery has been known to many different cultures throughout human history." The research organisation also said that the image captured by Hubble offers the sharpest view of the Orion Nebula ever obtained.

"Created using 520 different Hubble exposures taken in multiple wavelengths of light, this mosaic contains over one billion pixels. Hubble imaged most of the nebula, but ground-based images were used to fill in the gaps in its observations. The orange color in the image can be attributed to hydrogen, green represents oxygen, and the red represents both sulfur and observations made in infrared light," it said.

The nebula is only 1,500 light-years away, making it the closest large star-forming region to Earth and giving it a relatively bright apparent magnitude of 4. Because of its brightness and prominent location just below Orion's belt, M42 can be spotted with the naked
