Meissa Ring

description Meissa Ring Overview

The Meissa Ring is a very large, faint ring-shaped emission-nebula structure in the constellation Orion. It surrounds Lambda Orionis and spans roughly 12 degrees on the sky, so it is an object for wide-field astronomical observation rather than a compact nebula seen in a narrow telescope view. The ring is generally interpreted as interstellar gas shaped by radiation, stellar winds, and earlier activity from the hot stars in the region.
