    Default A Slightly Better View of the Orion Nebula



    No doubt, you've seen Orion when stargazing. A spot on his belt that's sometimes mistaken for a star is really the Orion Nebula. Here's an ever-so-better better view, thanks to the 67-megapixel, infrared-sensitive VISTA telescope.

    The downloadable Tiff image weighs in at 341MB and is 12,640 by 15,546 pixels. It looks awesome and would look great as a desktop wallpaper.
