Imagine how it would look if the Orion nebula is only four light years away - the distance the nearest star is to us, instead of 1,300 light years. It would be so bright that we wouldn’t be aware of the dark sky. We wouldn’t see other stars. The whole world would be the Orion nebula and the sun.

Cool image! But isn’t the nearest star to us the Sun at 93 million miles? At 4.2LY, Proxima Centauri would be the second closest.
