From NASA and the Hubble space telescope comes an amazingly beautiful picture of a young star's solar wind coming into contact with the evaporating gas from the Orion Nebula. Taken in 1995 as part of the Hubble's Orion Nebula photographic mosaic. The picture shows material in the fast wind from LL Ori as it collides with slow-moving gas coming from the center of the Orion Nebula, which is located to the lower right in this image. The surface where the two winds collide is the crescent-shaped bow shock seen in the image. (click on image for full size)
