“Wisps Surrounding the Horsehead Nebula” is copyrighted by Star Shadows Remote Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Horsehead Nebula, a famous dark indentation, is just one small part of a much larger cloud of gas and dust. This deep exposure shows the full extent of the complex, with glowing gas and absorbing dust. Located in Orion, this region is a busy star-forming area. Amateur astronomers captured this image using a hydrogen-alpha filter to highlight the red light from hydrogen.
