Reflection Nebula

Misty public domain photo from the Hubble Space Telescope capturing a reflection nebula.

This is a public domain photo from the GRIN Great Images In NASA Collection within the NASA image archive.

This misty public domain photo from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a refection nebula in the Orion Constellation. This type of nebula is not self-illuminating. The light we see permeating the mist of gases is only reflected light from a nearby star. This is a very fine image that will work well in background collages or in stand-alone applications.

This image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope – NASA. NASA is an Agency of the United States Government, therefore this image is in the public domain.
