/ March 2, 2000 -- Just weeks after NASA astronauts repaired the Hubble Space
Telescope in December 1999, the Hubble Heritage Project snapped this picture of
NGC 1999, a nebula in the constellation Orion. The Heritage astronomers, in collaboration
with scientists in Texas and Ireland, used Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera
2 (WFPC2) to obtain the color image.
