“The beautiful nebula above is M78 (NGC 2068), the brightest diffuse reflection nebula of a group of nebulae that includes NGC 2064, NGC 2067 & NGC 2071. This group belongs to the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex and is about 1,600 light years distant from Earth. (M78 is easily found in small telescopes as a hazy patch and involves two stars of 10th magnitude. These two stars, HD 38563A & HD 38563B, are responsible for making the cloud of dust in M78 visible by reflecting their light.)” - [Wikipedia’s description]
