Description

I absolutely love this creepy scary nebula, the Boogie Man Nebula or LDN 1622. This is a dark molecular cloud of less than 10 light-years across that lies only 500 light-years away in the constellation of Orion, close on the sky to Barnard's Loop and just north of Orion's belt, near the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy.
