Description

The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) is an iconic dark nebula in the constellation Orion. Along with the nearby Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) The Horsehead Nebula lives approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth. This nebula gets its name from the shape of the dark cloud of dust in front of a vibrant red emission nebula (IC 434). It is one of the most photographed and identifiable nebulae in the night sky. The reflection nebula residing southwest of the Horsehead is cataloged as NGC 2023.
