The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula located in the constellation of Orion, the hunter. This nebula is one of the brightest and is naked-eye visible in the night sky.

It lies at a distance of around 1,344 (+/-20) light years away and is the closest region of massive star formation to planet Earth.
