Description

It is a fragment of the gas clouds that make up the Orion molecular cloud complex; Like the other peripheral clouds of the complex, this one also shows signs of erosion due to the shock wave caused by the stellar wind of the bright stars of spectral class O and B belonging to the Orion OB1 association.

Basically, the nebula is made up of two comet-like comas of gas, with the head facing toward the association and scattering.
