The constellation Orion hosts some of the most famous and recognizable nebulae from its namesake to the Running Man, Horsehead, and Flame. Look a little west and you'll find Messier catalog item #78, a lesser known reflection nebula that surrounds a stellar nursery and is blanketed by interstellar dust.
