    A striking new image of the Orion Molecular Cloud (OMC) has been unveiled- a bustling stellar nursery teeming with bright, young stars and dazzling regions of hot, glowing gas. The researchers used the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in

    West Virginia to study a 50 light-year long filament of star-forming gas that is wending its way through the northern portion of the OMC known as Orion A.

    The GBT rendered this image by detecting the faint radio signals naturally emitted by molecules of ammonia t...
