Trapezium in Orion
The Trapezium cluster of young, recently formed stars is the brightest region of the Orion nebula. The center of the Trapezium shows four massive stars and a number of evaporating proto-planetary disks. Most of the ionizing radiation for this part of the nebula comes from the hottest of these four stars.
