NGC 2024 - Flame Nebula - AAPOD 27-04-2022
The protagonist of this image is undoubtedly NGC 2024, also known as the Flame Nebula, this nebula is located in the Orion constellation, although we can also see part of the IC 434 nebular complex and some objects such as NGC 2023 just below or IC 435 in the lower left corner. The choice of this frame is intended to see this nebula as a burning tree lying on a field of hydrogen and dust, but if we look closely we can see that there are several layers of gas and dust shaping this nebula. The star that floods the image with light is Alnitak, the easternmost star in Orion's belt, only 1400 light years away from us.
