Description

Horsehead Nebula in Ha. I like this monochrome version because it reminds me of all the sci fi movies I watched as a kid, where little Timmy rides his bike to the local observatory because he saw a martian or his parents are possessed and runs into the local astronomer wearing a lab coat and holding an unlit pipe. In the background are astrophotography, and there is always a horse head image.
