The Orion Nebula Cluster might be home to a black hole more than 100 times the mass of the Sun, according to a recent simulation. At 1,300 light-years away, that would make it the closest known black hole to Earth. Most of space is empty. Even when galaxies collide, individual stars are far more likely to exchange passing glances than meet head-on.

The Trapezium or Orion Trapezium Cluster, also known by its Bayer designation of Theta1 Orionis (θ 1 Orionis), is a tight open cluster of stars in the heart of the Orion Nebula, in the constellation of Orion. It was discovered by Galileo Galilei.

The Orion Nebula is 1,500 light-years away, the nearest star-forming region to Earth. Astronomers used 520 Hubble images, taken in five colours, to make this picture. They also added ground-based photos to fill out the nebula. The ACS mosaic covers approximately the apparent angular size of the full moon.

The Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC, M42) is a dense star cluster that is part of a complex star-forming region at a distance of about 400 pc (Jeffries 2007; Sandstrom et al. 2007; Menten et al. 2007). Due to its relative proximity, the ONC is one of the best observationally studied star clusters.. Having a black hole mass of ≈10.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion, [b] and is known as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with apparent magnitude 4.0.
