The Universe is a Cool Place!
This dramatic new image of part of the constellation 'Orion' looks like a ribbon of hot fire stretching through space, but it is actually a cold cloud of gas and dust. The cloud is glowing with light that our eyes can't see, but our telescopes have collected it and astronomer's have coloured this "invisible" light in red.
