Orion’s Rainbow of Infrared Light
This new view of the Orion nebula highlights fledgling stars hidden in the gas and clouds. It shows infrared observations taken by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and the European Space Agency’s Herschel mission, in which NASA plays an important role.
A star forms as a clump of this gas and dust collapses, creating a warm glob of material fed by an encircling disk. These dusty envelopes glow brightest at longer wavelengths, appearing as red dots in this image. In several hundred thousand years, some of the forming stars will accrete enough material to trigger nuclear fusion at their cores and then blaze into stardom.

Esas lluvias perversas que conspiran contra ti, para comenzar justo cuando sales de casa
Llevo un mes que si me pongo enfermo que si no.
Coño quiero calor!
Venga, que está en ello.
Os quejáis de vicio cabrones. Qué es lo peor que tenéis, ¿lluvia? Yo llevo con nieve desde diciembre, y hoy 29 de marzo vuelve a nevar como si no hubiese mañana. Que le den a la primavera.
