About M78:
"M78 is a bright reflection nebula spanning 4 light years and is located within the Orion B molecular cloud. The Orion B molecular cloud (LDN 1630) is home to several bright nebulae in the same vicinity, the brightest being M78, but also including NGC 2071, NGC 2067, NGC 2064 (all in the image) and NGC 2024, known as the Flame Nebula. The illuminating stars of M78 are early B-type supergiants HDE 38563A and 38563B. The illuminating star for NGC 2071 is HDE 290861. Aside from the brighter stars infrared studies have revealed over 40 low mass stars unseen within the cloak of thick dust pervading the region. Some nascent stars in the M78 region exhibit dramatic Herbig-Haro outflow phenomenon (glowing red patches) indicators of young stellar objects (YSO) still in their formative stages. These infant stars do not shine yet under their own power but reveal their presence by producing collimated jets of hot gas which ionizes the adjacent gas cloud causing a small intensely red glowing patch (seen in the lower left of the image)."Read more: http://www.robgendlerastropics.com/M78text.html
