Rigel and the Witch Head Nebula

NASA APOD · Rogelio Bernal Andreo

COSMIC MESSAGE

Rigel, a bright star in Orion, illuminates the Witch Head Nebula, also known as IC 2118. This reflection nebula spans about 50 light-years and is composed of interstellar dust reflecting Rigel's blue light. The dust grains scatter blue light more effectively, making the nebula appear blue, similar to how Earth's sky appears blue.
