See it on NASA's siteThe Orion Nebula is a star-forming region, a cloud of gas and dust where new stars are being born. It is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and can be seen with the naked eye. This stellar nursery is about 1,344 light-years away from Earth. It's a small part of a much larger cloud of gas and dust called the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.
