This is pretty. The big version will make a dandy wallpaper.

All these things will be revealed, to the faithful.
Psalm 8:4-6 (KJV)
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

One of the coolest things to view in the night sky for n00b folks like me that use a Binocular. For the Orion Nebula, you don’t even need a binocular on some nights, if the skies are good and clear, ect. (still always best to use optics if ya got’em)

It establishes your insignificance in the eyes of the LORD, my fellow traveller.

The Andromeda Galaxy is visible to the naked eye.

Yes, but curiously, as I have read, there is no mention of it in ancient accounts of the sky. And while we’re at it, I might note that the SNOWFLAKE was never described or accurately depicted until the the time of Kepler and Robert Hooke.

My experience has always been that celestial objects designated as “naked eye” in the various literature were actually “easy binocular” objects. Of course, this is largely because of light pollution, but even allowing for that, it always seemed to me that they assumed a high standard of visual acuity. And yes, the Andromeda nebula is a case in point! I can convince myself I’m seeing it naked eye, but it’s a close thing.

“Lori and the Orion Nebula” would be a good name for a band.
