42 Orionis is a class B1V[3] (blue main-sequence) star in the constellation Orion. Its apparent magnitude is 4.59[2] and it is approximately 900 light years away based on parallax.[1]

The primary star, Aa, has one spectroscopic companion Ab of magnitude 6.3 and separation 0.16", and a more distant companion B of 7.5 magnitude at 1.6" separation.[8][9]

c Orionis is surrounded by NGC 1977 one of a smaller fainter group of named nebulae just north of the Orion Nebula. c Ori is the star which excites and illuminates NGC 1977.
