 * Most of these go against the typical Wikipedia convention to disambiguate articles by using parentheses after the article name, and discussion on WikiProject Astronomical objects has come to the view that the format should be Messier #. Many of the destination pages are redirects with more than one item in the history. Chaos syndrome 20:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Picture
The Orion Nebula M42 occupies most of the image area. M43 is just the splodge in the central part. Better illustration for this article would be a cut of this high quality HST image of both these nebulae. I'll try to make it. --Egg &#9993; 12:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Wrong picture
The photograph shown in this article is not actually a picture of M43, since M43 is the teadrop-shaped nebula located just north of M42, and not that one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.136.233.189 (talk) 21:46, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
