Author Topic:   New Discovery: Giant Empty Space In Orion

I heard on the news this AM that for the first time an empty space was discovered in the Constellation of Orion. I understand that the nebula has regions called North A, North B and South A and South B.
I have a question regarding this discovery and am hoping perhaps that someone apprised in astronomy can answer it. I'm submitting this in The Bible: Accuracy and Inerrancy since my question is Biblically relative.
My question is this: Which region of the constellation is this new relatively empty corridor or space located in?
According to Wikipedia there is a Northern region described as a dark lane extending from the north. Nothing here is mentioned about the dark area being empty, but is that perhaps the region which has been now discovered to be relatively empty?
Wikipedia writes:
The dark lane that extends from the north toward the bright region is called the "Fish's Mouth".
Orion Nebula - Wikipedia
I will waive my moderator status here and ask one of the other mods to promote this OP which I've submitted. I do not wish to address the possible Biblical aspect of this discovery at this time, but first try to determine which area of the nebula this discovery is located.

The Wikipedia mentioned the "constellation of Orion" and I was not aware that the Orion Nebula was part of the constellation. Thanks.
This is definitely a Biblical topic related to science, but as I stated I do not wish to address that until we determine where the relatively empty corridor is. There's a reason I want to do it this way which I will address if the topic is promoted.
AdminPaul, I do not wish to get into discussion and debate with you into this topic but my search states that the phenomenon is in the Orion constellation. I want to ask questions related to this phenomenon and discuss this in the open forum. If I have it wrong, I'd like some input from other members in otder that we may all hopefully learn something regarding this topic. Thanks.

Re: Admins Discussing Topic
It's obvious that you and AdminPaul just don't want my topic aired and discussed. Please reread my OP and you will see plenty to promote unless you want to abuse your admin priviledge. I request that a more objective admin, one who is not my key antagonists as you and PaulK are so often in the debate issues.
I said I have search links (at least two of them) which state that this empty corridor is in the Orion Constellation. I want to see what others have to say about this. You have the power to close the thread after you see how it goes if you find that to be necessary.
Whether not this corridor is in the constellation Orion is debatable until discussion and/or debate is allowed to settle the issue.

Re: Admins Discussing Topic
This one, this one, and my calculation of coordinates from galactic to equatorial all say it's in Eridanus. Don't confuse the lanes in the relatively nearby Orion Nebula with this new find - this thing is a billion times bigger.
Thanks but no thanks for doing the topic before it is promoted posting your information. You and AdminPaul are proceeding into the topic matter with your stuff rather than promote my topic in which I want to discuss my topic. This is my thread. It is not your thread nor your topic.

Re: Admins Discussing Topic
AdminPaul, I need to leave for church now. I will respond to your message later today when I get back.
The OP is Biblically related as to why I do not want the Biblical in my OP. Before I get into the Biblical the cosmos must be discussed so as for me to know which way to go with my input.

Re: Admins Discussing Topic
The OP gave the impression that the location of the void was a simple preliminary that might lead to a discussion of the real topic - if the answers were favourable. Now it seems that astronomy is the topic. Do you want this topic put into a forum suitable for discussing astronomical questions ?
{Added notes: I would suggest Big Bang and Cosmology, although it does not strictly belong there - but it is the forum most involved with astronomy. I should also add that the newly-discovered void has no connection to the channels in the Orion Nebula, so those are unlikely to be relevant}

Re: Admins Discussing Topic
Please close this topic and I'll work on another OP. I'm sure the board have had enough of this.
