NGC 1788 and the Witch's Whiskers

NASA APOD · John Davis
COSMIC MESSAGE

This cosmic scene in Orion features the Witch Head Nebula, a bluish reflection nebula illuminated by the bright star Rigel. Its 'whiskers' are traces of red-glowing hydrogen gas, ionized by ultraviolet starlight. These threads connect to smaller nebulae, including the dusty reflection nebula NGC 1788, all shaped by strong winds from Orion's massive stars.
