M42 Orion Nebula
Located only 1,500 light-years away, M42 Orion Nebula is probably one of the most famous stellar object in the night sky. Visible by naked eye, Orion Nebula can be seen as a fuzzy middle star in the sword of Orion. Orion Nebula is a nursery place for new born stars. Enormous stellar cloud of gas and dust provide materials for star formation. The nebula houses an open stars cluster known as the Trapezium. Stars within Trapezium are mostly hot young stars at their early stage of life.
