The Orion Nebula (Messier 42) is situated in the Milky Way, 1,344 light years away from Earth. It is located south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion.
M42 is a massive star formation. The emission nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases.
The red hue is a result of the strong H-alpha radiation, while the blue-violet coloration is the reflected radiation from the massive stars at the core of the nebula. The dark areas result from clouds of dust which block the light.
