The 12.28μm pure rotational line of molecular hydrogen has been detected in emission from the region of vibration-rotation line emission in Orion. The line shapes, widths, and velocities are similar to those observed in the V=1 → 0 transition at 2.12μm. Constraints imposed by these new results on models of the emitting region are discussed.
