Description
English: The Orion Trapezium as observed on November 24th UT 05:37:54 1999. The colors represent energy, where blue and white indicate very high energies and therefore exterme temperatures. The size of the X-ray source in the image also reflects its brightness, i.e. more bright sources appear larger in size. The is an artifact caused by the limiting blur of the telescope optics. The projected diameter of the field of view is about 80 light days. Credit: NASA/MIT
