简介： VISTA\\\\\\\'s infrared view of the Orion Nebula. This wide-field view of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42), lying about 1350 light-years from Earth, was taken with the VISTA infrared survey telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. The new telescope’s huge field of view allows the whole nebula and its surroundings to be imaged in a single picture and its infrared vision also means that it can peer deep into the normally hidden dusty regions and reveal the curious antics of the very active young stars buried there. This image was created from images taken through Z, J and Ks filters in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. The exposure times were ten minutes per filter. The image covers a region of sky about one degree by 1.5 degrees.   这张距离地球约1350光年的猎户座星云（梅西耶42）的广角图是由位于智利埃索帕拉纳尔天文台的VISTA红外观测望远镜拍摄的。这台新望远镜的巨大视场使整个星云及其周围环境可以在一张图片中成像，它的红外视觉也意味着它可以深入观察通常隐藏的尘埃区域，并揭示埋藏在那里的非常活跃的年轻恒星的古怪行为。这张图像是通过光谱近红外部分的Z、J和Ks滤光片拍摄的图像创建的。每个过滤器的暴露时间为10分钟。这幅图像覆盖了大约1度乘1.5度的天空区域。
