I heard there was some fantastic viewing going on around "Orion's Sword?"
Anyone here anything?

The principal attraction there is the Great Orion Nebula, M42 or NGC
1976, containing the multiple-star system known as the Trapezium. Also
found in the immediate vicinity are De Mairan's Nebula, M43 / NGC 1982,
and the "Running Man" nebula-&-cluster complex NGC 1973, 1975 & 1977. A
Web search should turn up plenty of photos of these objects, as well as
observing notes of viewing them through various 'scopes.

The view there is always fantastic, Zyp. The Onion Nebula (M42) alone
makes it so.

I found the Nebula - but was told there was some interesting action around
the sword - [top of the constellation.] Was wondering if anyone heard
anything?

(LMAO)...They've never heard of the sword, Zyp. They are too busy
trying to fake you out. Plagiarizing encyclopedias, and "oh, what a
lovely view".

A common distraction used by those that don't have a clue.

And the sword is quite unmistakeable, if you get the big picture.
Better off viewing in private, or they'll become jealous. Feel they
are not among

........."the chosen".

Just off the edge of the sword (or club, as is
sometimes depicted) is the planet Mars. And
Mars is almost always interesting. And back
on 2/15, both planets, Mars and Selene (the
Moon) were in Taurus and ready to be pierced
(or clubbed) by Orion.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

What is the bright star nearest to Mars? Interesting
to watch the apparent distance between the two change
from night to night.

Dunno. But it's also interesting to watch that star that moved near
the moon, and watch it's distance change.

Noticed how the moon has cleaved? Especially, on a crescent.

The whole constellation of Orion is full of wonderful nebulae, Zyp.

The sword is not in the top though. M42 is the middle of the sword.

Since I'm the only other user quoted: I know the sword well, Tom.
Used to have a poster of the Trapezium on my wall. It was taken by
the 120" telescope at Lick Observatory. You ever heard of the
Trapezium?
