The Orion Nebula

An image from NASA's Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes looks more like an abstract painting than a cosmic snapshot. It shows the Orion nebula in an explosion of infrared, ultraviolet and visible-light colors. At the heart is a set of four massive stars, called the Trapezium. These are 100,000 times brighter than our sun. The swirls of green were revealed by Hubble's ultraviolet and visible-light detectors. They are hydrogen and sulfur gases heated by intense ultraviolet radiation from the Trapezium's stars. Wisps of red, detected by Spitzer, indicate infrared light from illuminated clouds containing carbon-rich molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

ABOUT THIS STAR TRACK STABLE WEBSITE

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the Star Track Stable website where you can learn about our racing and breeding organization which can boast nearly a half century of success.  Looking to the Stars is part of the theme of this site so I have added Music and some Pictures from the Hubble Telescope website for your viewing and listening entertainment.  Our vision at Star Track is to bring participants into the thoroughbred business and provide the dreams of being a part owner of your own star, a thoroughbred of achievement.  I hope you enjoy your visit with us and contact us about being a part of our vision.
