This image shows the full survey of the inner #Orion #Nebula and #Trapezium #Cluster made using the NIRCam instrument on the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.

This is the short-wavelength colour composite, which reveals the nebula, its stars, and many other objects in unprecedented detail in the #infrared.
