868:, which lies on the side of an elongated molecular cloud in a cavity formed by the massive young stars. (Theta Orionis C emits 3-4 times as much photoionizing light as the next brightest star, Theta Orionis A.) The H II region has a temperature ranging up to 10,000 K, but this temperature falls dramatically near the edge of the nebula. The nebulous emission comes primarily from photoionized gas on the back surface of the cavity. The H II region is surrounded by an irregular, concave bay of more neutral, high-density cloud, with clumps of neutral gas lying outside the bay area. This in turn lies on the perimeter of the Orion Molecular Cloud. The gas in the molecular cloud displays a range of velocities and turbulence, particularly around the core region. Relative movements are up to 10 km/s (22,000 mi/h), with local variations of up to 50 km/s and possibly more. 787: 36: 849: 608: 775: 896: 3789: 1098: 619: 3843: 3863: 335: 322: 3853: 8101: 881: 8125: 8113: 464: 1029: 1025:. The wind forms shock waves or hydrodynamical instabilities when it encounters the gas in the nebula, which then shapes the gas clouds. The shock waves from stellar wind also play a large part in stellar formation by compacting the gas clouds, creating density inhomogeneities that lead to gravitational collapse of the cloud. 1051:
