APOD 3.4 LL Ori and the Orion Nebula

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130203.html

This is a picture of some stellar gas from LL Ori interacting with the gases in the Orion Nebula. The winds in this nebula are even more powerful than the winds that our own sun puts out. The is a clear wave traveling though this nebula, and is traveling at supersonic speeds. This whole nebula just looks magical and is one of the most esthetically appealing nebulas I've ever seen.
