That's a great picture!
Of course, it makes me think of the nursery rhyme that I learned only as an adult since we don't have anything similar in Sweden:
There was an old woman
Tossed up in a basket
Seventeen times as high as the moon.
Where she was going
I just had to ask it,
For in her hand she carried a broom.
"Old woman, old woman,
Old woman," said I,
"Please tell me, please tell me,
Why you're up so high?"
"I'm sweeping the cobwebs
Down from the sky,
And I'll be with you
By and by."
Well, it's going to take the old woman a long time to sweep the cobwebs of dust out of Orion, that's for sure.
