Data Reveals That the Orion Nebula Cluster is a Mix of Two Clusters
International study suggests a massive black hole exists in the Sword of Orion Overview image of the Orion Nebula with the star cluster at its centre. The possible black hole would reside somewhere between the four bright stars which mark the centre of the star cluster.

The Orion Nebula Cluster might be home to a black hole more than 100 times the mass of the Sun, according to a recent simulation. At 1,300 light-years away, that would make it the closest known black hole to Earth. Most of space is empty. Even when galaxies collide, individual stars are far more likely to exchange passing glances than meet head-on.

The Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC, M42) is a dense star cluster that is part of a complex star-forming region at a distance of about 400 pc (Jeffries 2007; Sandstrom et al. 2007; Menten et al. 2007). Due to its relative proximity, the ONC is one of the best observationally studied star clusters.. Having a black hole mass of ≈10.
