“The Magnificent Horsehead Nebula” is copyrighted by Data: Giuseppe Carmine Iaffaldano; Processing: Roberto Colombari. 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, Barnard 33, is a dark cloud of cold dust carved by stellar winds. It is visible because it blocks the light from the glowing red emission nebula IC 434 behind it. This region, about five light-years tall, is 1,500 light-years away in the Orion cloud complex, where new stars are forming.
