Description

Sh2-278 is either a remnant of the gas in the Orion Molecular Cloud that formed the Orion OB1 association or a cloud that was pushed to its current location by the winds and pressure of the OB association. In the sky, it is located north of Rigel.

The blue dust is glowing by reflected starlight from Rigel.

The picture was taken in a suburban area with moderate light pollution.
