The Great Nebula in Orion (M42) is seen as the middle object in the "sword" in the belt of Orion.

The Orion Nebula is in fact part of a much larger nebula that is known as the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The Orion Molecular Cloud Complex extends throughout the constellation of Orion and includes Barnard's Loop, the Horsehead Nebula, M43, M78 and the Flame Nebula.

Mmmm... Orion, maybe?
Orion is a Hunter or a Warrior (depending on who you read).
The Eglish word Warrior comes from the ancient Greek Oarion.
The large squished rectangle mark off his shoulders and knees. The three stars are his belt; three blobs of light below the belt make his sword. The nebula is in his sword.
On the map (at the Wiki site), it is marked as M42.
