Near the Orion Nebula you can find the beautiful blue interstellar dust illuminated by newly formed stars. I cannot see the "running man" that others may see in this image, but may you do. Here is a little more information on this formation from
NASA:
The
1970s
are sometimes ignored by astronomers,
like this beautiful grouping of reflection nebulae
in Orion - NGC 1977, NGC 1975, and NGC 1973 -
usually overlooked in favor of the substantial glow from the
nearby stellar nursery better known as
the Orion Nebula.
Found along Orion's sword just north
of the bright Orion Nebula complex, these reflection nebulae are
also associated
with Orion's giant molecular cloud about
1,500 light-years away, but
are dominated by the characteristic blue color of interstellar
dust reflecting
light from hot young stars.
In this
sharp color image a portion of the Orion Nebula
appears
along the bottom border with the cluster
of reflection nebulae
at picture center.
NGC 1977 stretches across the field just below center,
separated from NGC 1973 (above right) and NGC 1975 (above left)
by dark regions laced with faint red emission from
hydrogen atoms.
Taken together, the dark regions suggest to many the
shape of a running man.
