Messier 78 (M78) is a
Messier 78 (M78) is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Orion, near the famous Orion Nebula. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and added to Charles Messier's catalog of nebulous objects. M78 is located about 1,600 light-years away from Earth and has a diameter of approximately 5 light-years.
The nebula is illuminated by several young, hot stars located within it, estimated to be less than a few million years old. These stars are responsible for the reflection of light off the surrounding dust and gas in the nebula, giving it its distinctive blue color.
M78 is surrounded by dark dust lanes that are composed of dust and gas that absorb and scatter light from the stars behind them. These dark lanes can be seen in photographs of the nebula and are thought to be the birthplace of new stars.
M78 is a popular target for amateur astronomers due to its brightness and location in the sky. It is also a subject of ongoing scientific research, as astronomers study the properties of the stars within the nebula and the interstellar medium surrounding it.
