NGC 1788
Highlighted in rather bold color, NGC 1788 is often overlooked due to the more famous features of the Orion Nebula. Although this ghostly cloud is rather isolated from Orion’s bright stars, their powerful winds and light have a strong impact on the nebula, forging its shape and making it a home to a multitude of infant suns.
