Object Info
The Horsehead Nebula is a stunning and iconic formation located in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, about 1,500 light-years away from Earth. This dark nebula appears in the shape of a horse's head, silhouetted against a background of bright, glowing gas and dust. The nebula is primarily composed of hydrogen gas and dust, and it is a site of active star formation. The intense radiation from nearby stars causes the hydrogen gas to glow, creating a beautiful contrast with the dark dust clouds. The Horsehead Nebula is a favorite target for amateur and professional astronomers alike, showcasing the beauty and complexity of our universe.
