Some nebulae in Orion // QQQAstro

Read below the cut for some help identifying some of the bright stars and nebulae in this image!

The first thing most folks will notice is the Orion Nebula (M42) hanging from the stars that form Orion's belt. M42 is joined by De Mairan's Nebula (M43) and the Running Man Nebula (Sh2-279) directly above it.

Near the leftmost star of the belt is the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) and the outline of the Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33). Above and left of the Flame is M78, a reflection/dark nebula.

Finally, encircling most of the image is Barnard's Loop, the outer shockwave of a supernova that occurred about 2 million years ago.

The four bright stars in the image are:

Saiph (κ Orionis) at the bottom of the image marking one of the legs of Orion. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase saif al jabbar meaning "saif of the giant", saif being an Arabic word for sword. It is a solitary blue supergiant star about 650 light years from Earth.

Alnitak (ζ Orionis) is the leftmost star of Orion's Belt. Its name comes from the Arabic word an-niṭāq meaning "the girdle." This is a triple star system, with the primary being a blue supergiant radiating 250,000 times the amount of light the Sun shines.

Alnilam (ε Orionis) is the middle star of the belt. Its name comes from the Arabic word al-niẓām meaning "arrangement/string [of pearls]". It is a solitary blue supergiant star that is even brighter: radiating about 420,000 times the light of the Sun!

Mintaka (δ Orionis) is the rightmost star of the belt. Its name comes from the Arabic word manṭaqa meaning "belt". It is a quadruple star system, with the primary still blazingly bright and hot, located about 1,200 light years away.
