Description

Barnard 150 is a dark nebula located in the constellation of Cepheus. This nebula is rich in interstellar cloud with a density in regions that is great enough to cause the obstruction of light emission from nearby stellar objects. The obstruction of light is seen as dark regions within the image. Barnard 150 is also known as the SeaHorse nebula, where with some imagination the dark region traces out (from left-to-right) the head, body, and tail of a seahorse.
