“The Horsehead Nebula in Orion” is copyrighted by Adam Block. 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, also known as Barnard 33, is one of the most identifiable nebulae in the sky. It is part of a large, dark, molecular cloud in Orion. The unusual shape was first discovered on a photographic plate in the late 1800s. The red glow comes from hydrogen gas behind the nebula, ionized by the bright star Sigma Orionis. A blue reflection nebula, NGC 2023, surrounds the bright star at the lower left.
