Group Image: The image on this page shows the famous star forming region - The Orion Nebula or M42, taken by an Astronomica member - Ajay Talwar. The smaller and fainter nebula near the top is NGC 1977 also known as 'Running Man' Nebula - A reflection nebula near the M42. You can see the running man in the image. NGC 1977, is not easily visible with even 8" telescopes because it is too faint.
