In Orions belt is a nebula where large clouds of gas implode in on themselves in a process known as fusion, they reach temperatures of ten million °C, when the process completes they ignite and stars are created into a celestial jewel box. Written 15th June 2020 For Stardust Poetry Contest Sponsored By Nette Onclaud.

Thank you Frank, the night sky facinates me, sadly many towns have too much light pollution now that makes things harder to see. Tom
