The Horsehead Nebula - a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. Not so far away - just 1,375 light-years from Earth.

What strange things exist in the heavens? What will one find where the shadowy depths of space meet the brightness of the stars?

A unicorn's spirit is universal

The Horsehead Nebula is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which bears some resemblance to a horse's head when viewed from Earth.

The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) in the middle is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion. Behind dark cloud of dust glows hydrogen gas, ionized by the nearby star Sigma Orionis. The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024, Sh2-277) (in the left part of image) is an emission nebula, shines thanks to ultraviolet light from star Alnitak. Both objects are approximately 1350-1500 light years away from Earth. Picture taken with Newton telescope (750mm focal length), HaRGB technique, total exposure time: 15 hours.

Deep space objects Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) and Horsehead Nebula (B33 inside IC 434) in the constellation Orion. This amateur picture shows hydrogen line, made with scientific camera and astronomy refractor telescope, total exposure time: 15 hours

The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) and Horsehead Nebula (B33 against IC 434) are beautiful emission and dark nebulas located near Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt. Nebulas are 900-1500 light years away from Earth. Amateur image consists of Hydrogen and RGB subframes, total exposure time 18h. HaRGB combination image.
