COSMIC MESSAGE
The Witch Head Nebula, IC 2118, is a reflection nebula associated with the bright star Rigel in the constellation Orion. Fine dust in the nebula reflects Rigel's light, giving it a blue color. This suggestively shaped nebula, on the lower left of the image, glows primarily by this reflected light.
