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 ]
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.
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.

This video clip shows a visualization of the three-dimensional structure of the Pillars of Creation. Closer view of one pillar. Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light-years (2,000–2,100 pc; 61–66 Em) from Earth.

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.
