Dust and Ionised Molecular Gas - what stars are made from!

" When we took a closer look at the data we realised that what we first thought was camera electronic noise was indeed copious amounts of molecular gas and dust . The gas is ionised by the bright hot stars and radiates strongly at the Hydrogen Alpha wavelength.We therefore decided to re-construct the Orion Constellation and Dagger images to show the full extent of the otherwise faint to the eye nebulosity".
