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.
The Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation Orion, is 1,300 light-years away. Webb’s latest infrared images released Monday captured the top of Horsehead in greater detail, illuminating clouds of ...

Hubble discovery images of Proplyd 114-426. The disk is one of the largest in the Orion Nebula. Initially the diameter was measured to be 2.3 arcseconds or 1012 AU. The dust mass of the disk was estimated to be 2.9 x 10 28 grams (4.6 M E) and the total (gas+dust) mass was estimated to be 4.34 x 10 30 g (2.29 M J). [6]
The Trapezium or Orion Trapezium Cluster, also known by its Bayer designation of Theta 1 Orionis (θ 1 Orionis), is a tight open cluster of stars in the heart of the Orion Nebula, in the constellation of Orion. It was discovered by Galileo Galilei. On 4 February 1617 he sketched three of the stars (A, C and D), but missed the surrounding ...
