Here's the first website I found when I searched for "Orion nebula." The opening is not a "recent disclosure"; in fact, it's been pretty well known since it was discovered in 1610. Certainly it's sort of cozy and familiar to amateur astronomers, who observe it regularly on winter evenings in the southern sky. Since it represents only a small but well illuminated portion of our own arm of the Milky Way galaxy, there is really nothing special about it, other than it's aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is nowhere near the north star. If you seek empty spaces, I would direct your attention to the regions between galaxies, where you can find aching emptiness that makes this looks like what it is - a puddle of vacuum blasted out of the galactic gas and dust by the birth of the Trapezium stars. It's pretty big when you compare it to the Earth, but it's really miniscule compared to the known universe.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Nebul鈥?/a>Need a website of pictures of the constellation Orion in the North nebulae?Interesting - "empty space in the north in the nebula of the constellation Orion" sort of limits it to what I found - but it can easily be seen with the naked eye - second "star" in Orion's sword - and it fits the description. Thanks.

Need a website of pictures of the constellation Orion in the North nebulae?Just because you can麓t comprehend it doesn麓t mean the rest of us can麓t... There is a lot of empty space up there (enough to fit entire galaxies let alone a tiny solarsystem) but no "heavens". Not even one. Sorry.Need a website of pictures of the constellation Orion in the North nebulae?To find some pictures, look up "Orion nebula" in google, and then click "images."
It is mighty pretty. But it's in the south, not the north. So I doubt that's what Job was referring to.
%26gt; There must be some reason why all this grandeur is lavished on one area in the Heavens.
His grandeur seems to be equally lavish all over the place. This nebula looks terrific to us because we are relatively close to it. But there are equally grand nebulas in every direction--just harder to see because they're farther away. If we were located in some other corner of the galaxy, we'd likely see other things in our sky surpassing Orion's beauty.
