Orion (Widefield)

1,500 light-years away in one of the sky's most recognisable constellations lies the Dark Horse Head, Flame, and Orion nebulae, with tendrils of glowing hydrogen gas traced throughout the region. The keen observer can also see a roaring lion manifesting from the hydrogen gas directly above the Dark Horse Nebula.
