COSMIC MESSAGE

The Horsehead Nebula is one of the most famous nebulae in the sky, appearing as a dark indentation against a red emission nebula. This horse-head shape is a cold, opaque dust cloud situated in front of the bright, glowing gas. It is located in the constellation Orion, near the bright star Alnitak in Orion's Belt. Like clouds in Earth's atmosphere, this cosmic cloud has taken on a recognizable form.
