Did you know that a collection of thousands of lie around 4,350 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Sagittarius?

Set within the Lagoon Nebula, these stars form in a gigantic cloud of interstellar dust and gas.

Messier 42 (The Orion Nebula)

This stellar nursery, known as the Orion Nebula, has been known to many different cultures throughout human history. It is 1,500 light-years away and the nearest big star-forming area to Earth, with an apparent magnitude of 4.

Orion and the Running Man also known as M42, the Orion Nebula's glowing gas surrounds hot, young stars. About 40 light-years across, it lies at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-years away.

However, in 1974, from Arecibo, a message of radio waves fired at a frequency of 2,380 megahertz, with 1,000 kilowatts of power (a good shout), was launched toward the Messier 13 star cluster, more than 20,000 light-years away.
