Description

IC2118 Witch Head Nebula

IC2118 is a reflection nebula, illuminated by the bright star Rigel, not seen on the image but off to the right. Rigel is the bottom-right star of the constellation Orion. The Witch Head is located 900 light-years from us, and is quite possibly a super nova remnant. North is at the bottom.
