NGC_2175 is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Orion. It is part of a larger complex of gas and dust, which is a region of active star formation. The nebula is approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth and is known for its striking colors, primarily due to the ionization of hydrogen gas by nearby young stars. This nebula is often studied by astronomers to understand the processes of star formation and the dynamics of interstellar matter. NGC_2175 is also associated with the LBN 762 dark nebula, which adds to its visual complexity and scientific interest.
