COSMIC MESSAGE

The dark Horsehead Nebula and the glowing Orion Nebula are iconic cosmic scenes, both about 1,500 light-years away. The Horsehead is a silhouette of cold dust against the background glow of hydrogen gas. The Orion Nebula, a star-forming region, shines brightly from ionized gas. This mosaic captures both, showing their contrasting beauty.
