A spark begins the year — small, sharp, and brave enough to grow.

The Orion Nebula glows with vivid colours shaped by the young Trapezium stars, whose light reveals the swirling gas and dust of a stellar nursery. In January’s cold and bright nights, it reminds us that new beginnings often start as small sparks — clear, fresh, and full of the energy needed for the year ahead.
