APOD 3.4

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1302/LLOri_hubble_960.jpg
 This is the APOD from February 3, 2013. IT depicts cosmic clouds and winds in the Orion Nebula. The newly forming stars are creating an immense amount of wind. This mixed with stationary gas causes quite a shift. The bow just above and to the left of the center of the image is a wind that measures half of a light year across. Orion is basically a stellar nursery for many new stars.
