We studied the structure of the H2O super maser region in Orion with VLBI angular resolution of 0.1 mas or 0.05 AU. The maser emission (F ˜ 8 MJy) was determined by highly organized structure: accretion disk, bipolar outflow, torus and surrounding shell. The accretion disk, divided into protoplanetary rings, is viewed edge-on. The disk rotates as a rigid body with velocities V ˜ ΩR and the rotation period is ˜ 170 yrs. The highly collimated bipolar outflow has a size of 9×0.7 AU, a velocity of ˜ 10 km/s. In the center a bright compact (≤0.05 AU) source ejector is located, surrounded by a torus 0.6 AU in diameter. The outflow has a helix structure, which is determined by precession with a period of T ˜ 10 yrs. Comet-like bullets were observed on distances up to 80 AU.
