JWST NIRCam observed the central part of the Orion Nebula, including proplyd 114-426. This observation found a dip at 3 μm, which is seen as evidence of water ice . The grain size was estimated to be smaller than 0.25 to 5 μm and the dust+ice mass of the disk was estimated to be 0.46 M E in the silhouette region. [ 3 ]
JuMBOs were found during a James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) survey of the Orion Nebula in late 2022. Using JWST's Near Infrared Camera ( NIRCam ), astronomers Pearson and McCaughrean observed a 1.2 × 0.8 parsec region of the inner nebula and Trapezium Cluster over approximately 35 hours.
Messier 78 or M78, also known as NGC 2068, is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his catalog of comet-like objects that same year. [4] M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula of a group of nebulae that includes NGC 2064, NGC 2067 and NGC 2071.
Launched on Dec. 25, 2021, the JWST is stationed at a Lagrange point (L2), where the gravitational forces of the Earth and sun keep i PHOTOS: 1 year of breathtaking images from James Webb Space ...
DALLAS (AP) — NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has revealed the sharpest images yet of a portion of a horse-shaped nebula, showing the “mane” in finer detail. The Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation Orion, is 1,300 light-years away. A light-year is nearly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers).
One of the largest dark proplyd in the Orion Nebula, Proplyd 114-426 imaged with JWST. ESO VLT MUSE image of proplyd 244-440 in the Orion Nebula. The young object is ejecting a jet (red color) and is surrounded by a blue halo of unknown origin.

As the Orion Nebula was the 42nd object in his list, it became identified as M42. Henry Draper's 1880 photograph of the Orion Nebula, the first ever taken. One of Andrew Ainslie Common's 1883 photographs of the Orion Nebula, the first to show that a long exposure could record new stars and nebulae invisible to the human eye.
