| The Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, is a dark nebula located in the constellation Orion, approximately 1,600 light-years from Earth. It's a well-known object for astronomers and is part of the larger Orion molecular cloud complex. The nebula's distinctive shape, resembling a horse's head, is formed by a dense dust cloud obscuring the light from a background emission nebula, IC 434. |
