Orion Molecular Clouds

The Orion Molecular Clouds (OMC) form collectively a filament cloud and are star-forming regions located behind the Orion Nebula and are seen as dark clouds between the Orion Nebula and Sh 2-279. The filament is part of the molecular cloud Orion A, which is part of the Orion molecular cloud complex. The Orion Molecular Clouds are divided into four parts…
