## Caption

One of the sky’s most recognisable constellations 💫
 
The Orion constellation can be viewed globally, and the Orion Nebula is around 1,350 lightyears away from Earth! It was discovered just this week that there are Jupiter-sized “planets” free-floating in this nebula, with astronomers trying to figure out just how to explain them.
