As the closest region of massive star formation, the Orion Nebula presents a unique opportunity for studying a bright HII region. It also allows one to determine how the initial formation of stars affects the surrounding region and secondary stages of star formation. All this is made possible by creating an accurate 3-D model of the Nebula.
