M78

M78 is a diffuse nebula in the constellation of Orion. Messier 78 is 1600 light-years away. It is an interstellar dust cloud illuminated by young stars. This region is a true star nursery with several dozen stars forming, revealed by powerful jets of hydrogen characteristic of their young age.
