Default BREAKING NEWS: New Distance to the Orion Nebula

The Orion Nebula is probably at least 200 light-years closer to Earth than
currently thought, says an astronomer in England. The new distance boosts
the estimated age of the nebula's many stars by 70 percent. For the full
story, including a color image from the Hubble Space Telescope, please see
