What Is the Orion Nebula Even Made Of?????

Now I bet with all this talk about the Orion Nebula you are either one of two things, completely done with hearing about it and wish I would move on or you really want to know an intimate knowledge of the Orion Nebula I guess. So now that I’ve trapped you all here for eternity I might as well entertain you with some SCIENCE! Now our bro, our pal, our fav crazy baby making machine the Orion Nebula is an interesting subject. Over the weeks I have forced upon you many facts about it but the one thing I haven’t covered yet is what it’s made of. And yes you know what that means ladies, gentlemen and non-binary pals; it's time for me to tell you all about it! So sit back, kick your feet up (Not on my dashboard you heathens!) it's time to let ole ROBEA to do you some learning. I really hope that if you are reading this article you know about basic chemistry and by that I hope you know that hydrogen exists. 

(Another Masterful Creation by yours truly)


 If you are reading this article and you don’t know what hydrogen is then I don’t know what to say to you other than look it up, I’m not gonna explain it to you. Freaking googled it, bing it or whatever. Now for the rest of you who are not completely brain dead I will now tell you what the Orion Nebula is made of. To be completely honest it's made mostly of hydrogen (Schoening 2018). I’m not kidding, that's what it’s mostly made of. And that does make sense since the Orion Nebula is mostly red in color which is the color that hydrogen can give off (Schoening 2018). But there are also a few other elements in the Orion Nebula, you might of heard of this one you sort of need it to survive, that's right folks our best friend oxygen is apart of the Nebula as well (Schoening 2018). 

(Yeah, I know these pictures are kind of pointless but I had fun making them. So that's all that matters to me.) 


 Our buddy oxygen makes the Nebula look a bit green in the center which is rad, because I mean red is nice and all but there is such a thing as too much red (Schoening 2018). So all together now, what is the Orion Nebula made of? That's right! It's made of mostly Hydrogen and Oxygen! Ok, ok I’ll stop patronizing you guys and let you go for today but don't forget what I told you about the Orion Nebula or this article was kinda pointless.

An Artists Rendition of the Planet Gliese 581c Retrieved from: http://www.cosmographica.com/spaceart/exoplanet-gliese581c.html Hello to the few people that read this! (How’s the day going Professor?). I hope you all are ready to have some knowledge thrown at you! So pull a chair up, take a seat, and lets get to learning! Now I know I talk a LOT about space but I never really talk about the planet we live on (Don’t get to excited; I see you perking up a bit back there Tom). Let’s not get too carried away here people; I’m not gonna talk about Earth, Nay Nay, I’m gonna talk about planets that are LIKE Earth (No Tom I’m not talking about Aliens! Sit down before you hurt yourself man). So our favorite people over at NASA have spent many years staring at the sky in hopes they will find a planet like our very own Earth. I bet some of you are getting a bit excited but keep your shirts on, NASA has not found any planets that are 100% like Earth. When I say “Like Earth” I mean how likely y

MaxIm DL aka Mah Boi Maxy

Hello kiddies! You’re old buddy ROBEA is back! Last time we had a great time talking about the amazing little Robot InSight! But this time we are back on the Orion Nebula train! Don’t groan! You love the Orion Nebula! We’ve been through so much together! I feel like there is nothing left to be said about the Orion Nebula. It’s the Crazy Baby Makin’ Machine, what more could you want? That’s why this time I’m going to focus on another part of imaging this bad boy. In the past we’ve talked about the special camera, the fancy non-rideable wolf mount, and the fancy smancy not-snapchat filters. Wow, ok we have talked about way more things than I thought we did. This time we are going to talk about the MaxIm DL program. Oo! I love throwing sciencey words at you guys! I’m going to throw some more at you! Hmm let’s see here Arachibutyrophobia (the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth), Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia ( the fear of the number 666), and pneumonoultramicroscopics

Back to Our Buddy Orion Nebula

Hola mi amigos! How is everyone on this fine day (or night)? I am terrific! But now I think it's time to look back on this blog. I have been writing this thing since September and let me say it is the most fun I’ve had in awhile. I loved making all the dumb photos that I made for each update. Now that I look back I made a crap ton of them. This is just a few of the pictures I've made over the course of this blog and honestly I can't believe I've made so many of these freaking pictures. But I am happy that I made this blog. Ok serious moment over lets get back to the terrible jokes! Over the course of this blog we have obsessed over the Orion Nebula aka the Baby Makin’ Machine. We have lived and breathed this nebula for months. So I thought “hey we haven’t beat this dead horse enough or fed a fed horse if you’re a member of PETA” so lets obsess some more over the Orion Nebula. You know I have written so much about this freaking Nebula that I can’t remember if
