We review the characteristics and discuss the nature of a dense group of compact radio sources found projected toward the Trapezium cluster of the Orion nebula. There are twenty-six radio sources, with flux densities greater than 2 mJy, clustered within a region of 35” radius around θ1C Orionis, the most luminous star of the Trapezium. The density of radio objects, of 1.4×104 pc-3, is extraordinarily high, about a thousand times greater than the density of stars in typical galactic clusters.
