Proper motions of the members of the Orion Complex from Kounkel & Covey (2019), color coded by the distance of the stars, from purple at 300 pc to red at 450 pc. Proper motions (pointed from the thicker part of the arrow at the current position, moving toward the thin part) are in the LSR, in the reference frame of the Orion Nebula. Vectors are overlaid on the photograph of Orion, courtesy of Rogelio Bernal Andreo. The two star makers show the approximate locations of the supernova eruptions.
