Description

Orion's Sword looks like three stars to the naked eye. A closer look, however, shows the three stars to be:

1. Running Man nebula complex, consisting of NGC 1975, NGC 1977, NGC 1973, and the stars 42 and 45 Orionis,

2. The Great Orion Nebula (M42) and M43,

3. NGC 1980 and Iota Orionis.
