The (M42 and M43) is a huge, nearby, turbulent gas cloud (mostly hydrogen) that is lit up by bright, young hot stars (including the called ) that are developing within the nebula. This is located about 1,500 light-years away from us towards the of .

The Great Nebula in Orion (also known as M42) is over 25 light years in diameter, and appears over a degree across as seen from the Earth. This is the same angular distance as two full Moons or two full Suns put side to side.

Next he showed me M27, the Dumbbell nebula, and a little later M42, the Orion nebula. Both were spectacular and also resembled long exposure photos with the exception of the missing colour.

M42, also known as the Orion Nebula or the Great nebula of Orion, is a gigantic cloud of gas and dust over 30 light years in diameter. It is located about 1,500 light years from the Earth.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula with a greenish hue and is situated below Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky.

The Orion Nebula (M42 and M43) is a huge, nearby, turbulent gas cloud (mostly hydrogen) that is lit up by bright, young hot stars (including the asterism called Trapezium) that are developing within the nebula.

The most famous object in Orion is the Orion Nebula (M42). The middle "star" of Orion's sword (below his belt) is not a star at all, but the nebula. Nebulae are places where new stars are born.

The fuzzy patch, just barely visible with the naked eye, is the Great Orion Nebula (M42). It is believed that M42 is a huge starforming region about 1700 light years away.

Too bad he didn't notice the spectacular event taking place in the nebula, which he named M42. Nestled in the center of M42 is a group of stars, known as the Trapezium, which have formed from the gas in the nebula.

Attilla Danko: "Big emission nebulae. Like M42, The Veil and the North American Nebula. These are just breathtaking in a short focus refractor with a wide field eyepiece and narrowband nebula filter." ...

Orion Nebula bright diffuse nebula in the constellation Orion; also known as the Great Nebula of Orion and cataloged as M42 or NGC 1976. It is located near the middle of the "sword" hanging from Orion's "belt" of stars.

The variable has born in The Great Orion Nebula (M42) and jumped from the nebula. The star is just passing through IC405 by chance, and brightening the nebula by giving energy and activating the hydrogen molecules.

1) Learn to spot a few constellations and maybe a planet or two with the naked eye. If you can't point to M42, how do you expect to able to point a telescope (which has a much narrower field of view) there?

NGC The NGC (New General Catalog) is a list of over 13,000 deep-sky celestial objects. It was developed in 1888. For example, the Great Nebula in Orion is NCG 1976 (and M42). NGC4414 (pictured above) is a spiral galaxy 60 million light-years away.

Some of the better known dusty regions in the universe are the diffuse nebula in the Messier catalog, for example: M1, M8, M16, M17, M20, M42, M43 Messier Catalog ...

Drive training should take care of it. (As an aside, in a 9mm eyepiece, M31 and M42 were dead-on, Saturn and Mars were about 5 minutes off). The drives do seem to run quieter and smoother, especially the RA drive.

Designations from Messier's catalog are frequently used to refer to the brighter nebulae and star clusters; for example, M31 is the Andromeda Galaxy, M1 the Crab Nebula, M42 the Great Nebula in Orion, and M45 the Pleiades.

From his belt there hangs a well defined dagger (known as "Sword of Orion"), which is known for one of the most famous nebulas in the sky: The Large Orion Nebula (M42).
