Description

Despite the unbearable coldness of the Negev desert and the threatening humidity, I loaded the equipment with good blankets and my brave partner Einav.

And we went out to shoot in a wide field one of the beautiful objects "horse head and the fire nebula"

The horse head nebula is in the Orion constellation.The nebula is about 1,500 light-years away from the Earth.

The nebula is composed of clouds of dark dust and gases.

The red glow that is formed by hydrogen gas, at the base of the nebula, there are bright spots that are young stars in formation
