The interstellar scene lies within the dusty expanse of reflection nebula IC 2118 in the constellation Orion. IC 2118 is about 800 light-years from your neighborhood, close to bright bluish star Rigel at the foot of Orion. Often identified as the Witch Head nebula for its appearance in a wider field of view it now rises before the witching hour though. With spiky stars for eyes, the ghoulish apparition identified here seems to extend an arm toward Orion&#8217;s hot supergiant star. The source of illumination for IC 2118, Rigel is just beyond this frame at the upper left. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap201029.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspired by the halloween season, this telescopic portrait captures a cosmic cloud with a scary visage.
