Comments: This great star forming region of the Milky Way Galaxy is readily visible with the unaided eye if the night sky is reasonably dark. It appears as the middle fuzzy "star" in Orion's sword (which "hangs" from his belt). Unlike most deep sky objects, the Great Orion Nebula is very impressive when seen through a small or modest aperture telescope. It is also visible through binoculars.
