Description: The note draws attention to a structural feature in the Orion nebula, consisting of a parachute-shaped object converging on 64 Orionis, noted on H alpha photographs of the Orion nebula taken with the 76-cm Allegheny refractor. The same feature shows up clearly on a photograph taken in 1909 with the Mount Wilson 152-cm reflector, and on a photograph taken with the Palomar 5-m reflector. Measurements made on these three plates indicate a possible expansion of the object of about 3.6 seconds of arc per century, corresponding to a tangential velocity of about 90 to 100 km/sec. If the expansion continued at a linear rate, an explosive event may have occurred approximately 900 years ago.
