... 2007 February 2 . Flame Nebula Close-Up . ... Explanation: Of course, the Flame Nebula is not on fire. Also known as NGC 2024 , the nebula's suggestive reddish color is due to the glow of hydrogen atoms at the edge of the giant Orion molecular cloud complex some 1,500 light-years away. ... In this close-up view , a dark lane of absorbing interstellar dust stands out in silhouette against the hydrogen glow and actually hides the true source of the Flame Nebula's energy from optical telescopes. ...
