   Summary Author:  Greg Parker;  Jim Foster
   This nebulous,  heavy-armed running man looks like he’s in a full
   sprint mode, possibly trying to escape the pull of  his own gravity.
   Observed here from the New Forest Observatory in Brockenhurst,
   Hampshire, U.K, the  Running Man Nebula, some 1,300  light years
   away, was first discovered in 1786 by  William Herschel. He’s made
   up of three separate nebulas associated with the Great Nebula ( M
   42) in the constellation of Orion. His reddened form is a result of
   faint  red emission from hydrogen atoms, outlined in blue by a
    reflection nebula that reflects the light of relatively close by,
   young  blue stars. Photo taken in January 2022.
