Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula

situated south of Orion’s Belt. It is one of the brightest

nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky.

M42 is located at a distance of 1,344±20 light years

and is the closest region of massive star formation to

Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years

across.”
