Cassell & Co., London.Text Appearing After Image:Another View of the Nebula in Orion This is an artists drawing of the nebula, and gives details that are fogged in photography. The small dark spot in the upper portion of the brightest part of the nebula is the rude square or trapezium. This is the open space. THE OPEN SPACE IN ORION 257 is not much larger than an ordinary grape or raisinseed. At the upper part of this small bright patch asshown in the drawing is a dark portion. It is near themargin of the bright part, but completely surroundedby it. In the dark part, you will notice a few stars.These are the multiple star Theta Orionis. Of this open space or interruption in the nebula, SirJohn Herschel has said, It is remarkable, however,that within the area of the trapezium, no nebula exists.(Outlines, page 609.) That this opening has something to do in relationto the nebula entire is evident from a close scrutiny ofits structure. The whole nebula is built about it.
