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.

Orion's Sword is a compact asterism in the constellation Orion. It comprises three stars (42 Orionis, Theta Orionis, and Iota Orionis) and M42, the Orion Nebula, which together are thought to resemble a sword or its scabbard. This group is south of the prominent asterism, Orion's Belt. Fables and old beliefs are in Europe dominated or widely ...

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 ...
Illustration of the dynamics of a proplyd, including an astrophysical jet Components of proplyd 177-341W in the Orion Nebula observed with VLT MUSE, showing an ionization front, protoplanetary disk, tail, and an RGB view (Aru et al. 2024) [6]. In the Orion Nebula the proplyds observed are usually one of two types.
