Young Stars Emerge From Orion’s Head
This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows infant stars "hatching" in the head of the hunter constellation, Orion. Astronomers suspect that shockwaves from a supernova explosion in Orion's head nearly three million years ago may have initiated this newfound birth. The region featured in this Spitzer image is called Barnard 30.
