The structure is found in the region of the Orion Nebula in the Great Orion Molecular Cloud complex and is one of the more mysterious structures yet found in the night sky. the long gas stream stretches about ten light years and emits an unusual array of colours. There are many hypotheses on the why and how of the structure yet no real answers. Perhaps future observations will unlock the true origin of this enigmatic wisp. It is approximately 1500 light years away.
