Talk:Orion molecular cloud complex

Comments

Currently this article appears in the category of "nebulae" because I couldn't think of what subcategory it could fit into (as it contains so many various types of nebulousity). If someone's got a clue please move it to the proper subcategory! Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andromeda321 (talk • contribs) 04:32, 27 November 2005‎ (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Orion molecular cloud complex is a large group of bright nebulae, dark clouds, and young stars located in the constellation of Orion. The cloud itself is between 1,500 and 1,600 light-years away and is hundreds of light-years across. Its brightest stars include the supergiants Rigel (bottom right) and Betelgeuse (top left), as well as Orion's Belt, the asterism of three stars near the center in the image.Photograph: Rogelio Bernal Andreo, edited by Benison P.
