The Orion bright bar, a bar shaped optical feature, is seen about 2 arcmin southeast of the Trapezium stars in the Orion nebula. Since the bright bar is probably an ionization front seen edge on, this region has an ideal configuration to investigate a shocked region generated by an expanding H II region.
