“The Horsehead Nebula Region without Stars” is copyrighted by George Chatzifrantzis. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe famous Horsehead Nebula is an indentation carved from cold dust. This deep exposure, with stars removed, shows the Horsehead is part of a vast complex of absorbing dust and glowing gas. The Flame Nebula is the orange cloud to the Horsehead's left. Stellar winds and ancient supernovas sculpted these intricate wisps and filaments.
