Sharpless 264, also known as the λ Orionis Ring, is a molecular cloud and HII region, which can be seen in the northern region of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex (OMCC), in the constellation of Orion . The OMCC is one of the best-known star formation regions and the closest sector to the Solar System of our Galaxy, where high-mass stars are born. It is named after its main star, λ Orionis, a blue giant responsible for the ionization of the surrounding nebulae.
