Below is a ¹²CO map of the L1641 molecular cloud (Bally et al. 1987). Marked on this map are the approximate locations of regions for which near infrared color images have been constructed from observations with imaging detectors at:

• J(1.25 µm), blue;
• H(1.65 µm), green;
• and K(2.2 µm), red.

Simply select the position for which you would like to see the visual, near infrared and radio wavelength images by using your mouse.

Shop at our online poster store! We have selected a great group of posters with images from the Hubble Space telescope, Deep Sky images, the Earth from Space, the Solar System, and Men in Space. Take a look and decorate your room, or find a great gift here.
