At the gates of Orion, a mischievous profile takes shape among the clouds: the Monkey Head owes its silhouette to sculpted gas and dust, within a cloud where young stars are flickering to life. There is a good-natured eccentricity about the place. This celestial grin is a perfect match for someone whose joy is contagious.
