Where is Orion nebula located?
The Orion Nebula is located in the Milky Way Galaxy, within the Orion constellation, specifically in the Sword of Orion. It is easily visible to the naked eye and is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky.
Where in our galaxy does most star formation take place?
In molecular clouds, such as the Orion Nebula.
What is the difference between Orion and the Orion nebula?
Orion is a constellation made up in the minds of the ancients to represent "Orion" a hunter in mythology. The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula located south or Orion's belt. It is an area of extensive star formation. It is only called Orion Nebula as it is seen within the constellation of Orion. See related questions
What nebulae can you see without a telescope?
Some nebulae that can be seen without a telescope include the Orion Nebula (M42), the Lagoon Nebula (M8), and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). These objects are bright enough to be visible to the naked eye under dark skies.
Is Orion in the galaxy milky way?
The Orion is a spur of the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. Our sun is in this arm. All the stars and constellations we can see with the unaided eye are also in the Milky Way Galaxy, as is the Orion Nebula (a vast cloud of interstellar gas).
Is there any galaxies are black holes in Orion?
Sorry - that's so tangled it's hard to establishthe question's meaning. There is a nebula, or star cluster, within (i.e. framed by) Orion; and Orion is part of our own galaxy. I don't know if the nebula is in our galaxy or not. Galaxies are thought now to have huge black holes in their centres, holding the structure together by their gravitational attraction.
Is Orion nebula bigger than the sun?
Yes, the Orion Nebula is much larger than the sun. The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula, while the sun is a star. The Orion Nebula is approximately 24 light-years across, while the sun is about 864,000 miles in diameter.
What are two well-known nebulae?
Two well-known nebulae are the Orion Nebula (Messier 42) and the Crab Nebula (Messier 1). The Orion Nebula is a diffuse cloud in the constellation Orion, visible to the naked eye, while the Crab Nebula is a remnant of a supernova explosion observed in the year 1054.
What is the distance of the Orion nebula to the milky way?
The Orion Nebula is located approximately 1,344 light-years away from Earth within the Milky Way galaxy. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 9.461 trillion kilometers. Therefore, the distance between the Orion Nebula and the Milky Way is about 12.7 quadrillion kilometers. This vast distance is measured using astronomical units to provide a sense of scale in the vastness of space.
Which constellation does the Orion nebula appear in the sky?
Not surprisingly - Orion!!
The names of the two well-known nebulae?
Andromeda, Milky Way These are galaxies ^ Orion Nebula Eagle Nebula
Is the galaxy of Orion getting wider?
The Orion galaxy is not getting wider. Galaxies are huge collections of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity and don't expand in the same way the universe does. The distance between galaxies is increasing due to the expansion of the universe, but individual galaxies like Orion remain the same size.
