The Gemini South telescope in Chile has been fitted with five lasers and
three deformable mirrors, allowing astronomers to correct for
atmospheric distortions over an exceptionally large field of view. On
9 January, at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Long
Beach, California, astronomers unveiled the telescope’s ultra-sharp
portrait of the ‘bullets’ of gas seen in the Orion Nebula. In the image,
clumps of iron gas (blue) race through the nebula, leaving behind
pillars of hot, glowing hydrogen gas (orange).
