This is a photo of the Flame Nebula in the crowded and dusty star forming regions near Orion's belt. It was compiled with x-ray data from the Chandra Observatory and infrared images from the Space Spitzer Telescope. The composite image spans 15 light years across the Flame's center. The youngest stars are concentrated toward the middle of the cluster.
