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.
A new image of the Orion Nebula from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals parts of the nebula that were undetectable in visible light. Side-by-side photos of the Orion Nebula show how powerful ...
Barnard's Loop (catalogue designation Sh 2-276) is an emission nebula in the constellation of Orion. It is part of the Orion molecular cloud complex which also contains the dark Horsehead and bright Orion nebulae. The loop takes the form of a large arc centered approximately on the Orion Nebula. The stars within the Orion Nebula are believed to ...
The Orion A cloud has a mass in the order of 10 5 M ☉. [7] The stars in Orion A do not have the same distance to us. The "head" of the cloud, which also contains the Orion Nebula is about 1300 light-years (400 parsecs) away from the Sun. The "tail" however is up to 1530 light-years (470 parsecs) away from the Sun.
Henry Draper's 1880 photograph of the Orion Nebula, the first ever taken. One of Andrew Ainslie Common's 1883 photographs of the same nebula, the first to show that a long exposure could record stars and nebulae invisible to the human eye.
You can also find a nebula in Orion. Look below Orion’s Belt for three fainter stars in a rough line. With the naked eye, the second brightest “star” may look a little fuzzy around the edges.

Orange giant φ 2 Orionis, while appearing to be surrounded by the Ring, is merely a foreground object at only about 116 light years from Earth. HD 34989 is a blue-white main sequence star, visible magnified only, just outside the Ring. It has a small nebulous cloud more geared towards the near-infrared than other parts of the neighbouring ...
