Trivia
- In reality, Messier 78 (the full name for M78, named as the 78th object in Charles Messier's Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters) is a reflection nebula in the Orion Constellation that is located 1600 light-years away from Earth. It is interesting to note that Orion was a giant huntsman in Greek Mythology.
- Several other objects in Messier's catalogue have been featured or referenced throughout the Ultraman Series; these include Messier 1, the Crab Nebula, which is the location of the home planet of Bemstar's species, Messier 91, a barred spiral galaxy which is the home of several aliens and monsters in Ultraman Gaia, and Messier 80, a globular cluster which was the location of the Visitors' home world, which was destroyed using a supernova in an attempt to stop Dark Zagi.
