The rich young cluster of stars associated with the Orion Nebula provides a unique laboratory for the study of plasma phenomena. We see five types of flows and shocks. Photoablation outflow from the proplyds nearest θ1C Ori form nearly stationary shocks with the high velocity wind from that star. Microjets, with scales of less than 103 AU, are seen around some 20 low mass stars. Isolated jets, with high velocities and scales of about 104 AU, are less numerous but common. One also sees the shocks formed when these jets impinge on the ionized nebular gas and the neutral gas in the foreground lid. The final type of object is the stationary shock formed by the interaction from the stellar wind that arises during disk formation with the ambient gas flowing away from the main body of the nebula.
