This video takes the viewer on a journey through space to the constellation Orion (the Hunter), a location familiar to Webb, to reveal the latest ESA/Webb Picture of the Month. This area of the sky is replete with star-forming clouds that make up a complex hundreds of light-years across. We find ourselves in the giant molecular cloud Orion A, of which the familiar Orion Nebula (also known as M42) is just a part; Webb has taken both close-up and wide-angle looks at M42 before.
