      The Great Orion Nebula

      Using CHI-1 I was able to observe the great orion nebula, here the resolution of the image is stunning, not only this but if you zoom in on the cloud you will be able to spot an expanding bubble in the nebula where gas is expanding as a new star has finally burst free and pushed away the gas that created it, if you know where to look you can also see baby solar systems forming in this giant star region to make matters even more interesting the bubble is continuing to expand at a slow rate but large enough for us to notice.

      Dataset from which the image was processed
