The Ring Nebula is located in the lower right of the image Gum Nebula: 809–950 ly (248–291 pc) [16] [17] Emission nebula: Extends about 36° of the sky Bubble Nebula (NGC 6822) 758 ly (232 pc) [18] [19] [20] H II region: The Bubble Nebula is located in the upper left of the image NGC 6188: 600 ly (180 pc) [21] Emission nebula: NGC 592
A starchart of the Orion Nebula. Optical images reveal clouds of gas and dust in the Orion Nebula; an infrared image (right) reveals the new stars shining within. The entirety of the Orion Nebula extends across a 1° region of the sky, and includes neutral clouds of gas and dust, associations of stars, ionized volumes of gas, and reflection ...
The Messier catalogue comprises nearly all of the most spectacular examples of the five types of deep-sky object – diffuse nebulae, planetary nebulae, open clusters, globular clusters, and galaxies – visible from European latitudes. Furthermore, almost all of the Messier objects are among the closest to Earth in their respective classes ...

A nebula that is visible to the human eye from Earth would appear larger, but no brighter, from close by. [6] The Orion Nebula, the brightest nebula in the sky and occupying an area twice the angular diameter of the full Moon, can be viewed with the naked eye but was missed by early astronomers. [7]
