  • I always see Orion at night wen itts not rainin...=)

  • The black spot at the end? The "Enterprise".

  • @thebeer006 Check hubblesite(dot)org

    this 'spot' is named 'protoplanetary disk' (of gas and dust) in the trapezium region. Propably planets will rise there someday.

  • I saw it today along with Jupiter and Venus and other stars/galaxies

  • @thebeer006 A protoplanetary disk, or "proplyd". As mentioned below, it's a solar system forming, with a proto-star at the center and a ring of dust orbiting around it. There may even be some "baby planets" condensing out of the dust in that ring.

  • @thebeer006 supersonic 'bullets' of gas punching through the hydrogen

  • @thebeer006 Its either those solar system forming thing i forgot what its called its been so long and the orion nebula is a star nursery.

  • The blue planet u missed ....and I see sun there as well

  • @thebeer006 To me, it must be a forming Solar System.
